I was not a close friend of Gordon's but we did speak to each other on many occassions. He was always polite and friendly. I am saddened he left us because of Covid-19, certainly before his time. Rest in peace my friend.

Sorry to hear of Gordon's passing. Fond memories of Gordon in ROTC... A Veteran and a Civil Servant! Wish we had more like him. Gone too Soon.

I am sorry to hear that Gordon has passed. After I was assigned to PMEL on base, I lost track of Gordon. I often wondered how he was doing. I am sure he will be missed by his loved ones, as he was one of the good guys.
