I worked with Gordon for many years in the CRU department Texaco/Motiva. Gordon was one of the few really "good guys" we depended on to get a job completed and done right! I still have several fishing lures Gordon made for me. My condolences to the family, I'm sure he will be missed..

My condolences to the family for such a great loss. I considered Gordon a dear and trusted friend. We worked many years together as Machinist partners at Motiva. We worked many hours overtime and became good friends. I know Gordon's smile and humor will be missed by all. I leave you with this thought - Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. I look forward to seeing my friend Gordon again.
