I remember Gordon as a wonderful Family man and an awesome example of a faithful Godly man. A wonderful witness to the many lives he touched throughout his long life.

I thank God for Gordon's life and witness, and especially his passion for reaching children for Christ. What an example of faithfulness. Although absent from Christchurch for many years, yet when we did meet Gordon always took an interest and gave encouragement. My thoughts and prayers are with Anne and the family.
