    We are so sorry for your loss. I have many memories of Gordon over the years. I first met him when I joined the Liverpool Militia 105 Howitzer Division out of the old Armories in high school. He was strict but fair. He instilled respect and motivation to a group of young boys which I still look back on today. His words of wisdom on the board of Long Lake Camp during the years was greatly appreciated. Look back and treasure the many memories and the people he touched. Rest in peace Friend.
