We were “happy and blessed” to know Gordon. We first met him while we were each delivering Meals on Wheels in Whitesboro. He never had a cross word
to say about anyone. We should all try to be more like Gordon. The world would be a better place indeed. He is truly Happy and Blessed now.
What an absolute pleasure to know Gordon. Happy and blessed everyday. Rest easy, Gordon!
