Gordon Lawton Obituary

Gordon G. Lawton, of Plymouth Meeting, Pa, passed away on February 6, 2025, surrounded by his family. Born October 22, 1954, to the late Harry and Irene (nee McCuen) Lawton; Gordon was the beloved husband for 52 years of Nancy (nee Hoisington); loving dad of Scott, Valerie (James) Pizzo, Jeremy (Suzanne); cherished Pop of Jessica, Julia, Hunter, Katie, and Nathan; great-pop of Damon and Ryder. He is preceded in death by brothers Harry Jr., Curtis Sr. and sister, Cindy Ventura. Gordon was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren, teaching them his version of life lessons. He is remembered by family and friends for his sense of humor, one of a kind personality and enthusiasm for his corvettes. Family gatherings at Christmas and Irish Weekend were his favorite times of the year and those memories of our time with him will be in our hearts forever. Relatives and friends are invited to Gordon's Life Celebration on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 12 Noon at the Boyd-Horrox-Givnish Life Celebration Home of East Norriton, 200 W.
