Gordon had a full life. Started in poverty, had his own business and Aircraft. He did well with his life.
Gordon was a hard worker who loved his family and friends. He was a happy man with many interests and talents. His favorite past time was singing and dancing. He would bring happiness into a room by his presence. He was my oldest brother. I learned a lot from him about our family and ancestors of the past. I will miss him, but he will always be in my heart.
Rest in peace uncle.
