Gordon was the father of my son=in-law, Steve. My friends and relatives who met him spoke highly of him right away. I loved his sense of humor. Gordon was, undoubtedly, a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. You can see the wealth of a person in the love and devotion to his family.. His children and grands are all loving, giving and high achieving people who Gordon has helped them become. What better gift can a person give than this? Gordon is assuredly resting joyfully in his Savior's arms. We were and are blessed because of Gordon.

We shared some good laughs with "Gordo" as he was explaining how some spanish speaking (like me) could not detect the N at the end of his name. My family and I have great memories of a weekend trip to the lake house and enjoying company, fish fry, crawfish boil, my kids first fishing experience and even getting my laptop fixed. We will miss you and see you later if we are lucky. - Alex
