The Family – We were very sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing. He was always a good friend when I lived in Liverpool and the one that really made me appreciate the taste of a good scotch.

To Gordon Peverill’s family: I was very sorry to read of your beloved Gordon’s passing. In the early 1960’s I was in the first student militia group in Liverpool.

I am sure he is enjoying his time in heaven with our Lord. RIP Major Peverill!

I am sending condolences to you and your family for my parents, Ross (cousin) and Marilyn Daniels who were very saddened to hear the news of Gordon’s passing.

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.

To the Peverill Family –
I knew Gordon and a gentleman several decades ago in the Militia. He was a well-respected and very competent officer. We met again when I joined the Army Cadet League where I once again saw him serving his community and passing on his knowledge. He served his country well.
May the good times you remember help to ease the sorrow that you must feel now. May he rest in peace.
