Gordon had a wonderful sense of humour, encentricity, and firm reassuring faith in his Saviour. Life was richer for knowing him. My condolences to all who loved him. He will be greatly missed.

So sad to hear of Gordons passing. He was such a wonderful gentle man. Those of us who knew him, even a lttle bit are so much richer. "The soul may rise from the earth into the sky like a bird aware of its freedom. Not feeling the barriers of man bit the beauty of love which is eternal"
