Yesterday

When Gordon climbed on our van for day-trips, the mood would light up and Gordon would head to the back so he could have a lady each side and the van would rock with humour. We ended up calling the back seat 'the naughty seat' but he was always the gentleman. I used to kid him that he was the England goalie in the 1966 World Cup.

So sad when he headed north and even sadder today but hoping he enjoyed his last 6 years there.

Gone but most definitely not forgotten.
Honoured to have met him.
