Dear Martha Jane, Gail and Cheryl,
I can see Gordon in my mind's eye like it was yesterday. I remember his smile, his laugh, the twinkle in his eye (I think that there was some mischief there that as a little kid, I didn't really understand) and his energy. We had so many fun times with your family and Gordon will be forever a part of me. He will be so missed. ❤️ Sending my condolences and love to all of you and your families. ❤️

Gail, Cheryl, and your families,
I remember your Dad with such fond times. He would help us make the homemade pizza before we even knew what "pizza" was, his experiments with making " wine" from Welch's grape juice, and always willing to help us with our projects. I remember him with a ready smile, lots of energy, busy with his ideas and projects, and a very kind heart to share. So hard to lose a parent but I know it helps to have had a kind and loving father who lived a long, full life. So many years ago your family was there for me with patience and kindness, my deepest sympathy.
Sincerely, Jenny
