Grandpa passed peacefully in his sleep in the overnight hours. His body may have been weak with age but his contagious love for life and those around him, live on. He is survived by his adoring family. His beloved wife Nadine, his children Jerry, Jim, Robin and Steve and 8 grandkids. He is also survived by 10 wonderful great grandchildren whom he loved dearly and enjoyed watching each of them grow. Family was always a priority and his loving leadership will live on through his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Gordon was a Master Mason who cherished his Mason brothers and all they stood for. Gordon was also a proud and long time member of the Sierra Model A club where he was surrounded by life long friends his family will forever cherish. He worked tirelessly for many decades at Sears and made many lifelong friends from his time as an automotive manager. Gordon made friends with anyone willing to give him their time. Although he is no longer with us in body, his zest for life, family, clubs, friends and love lives on in each of us.
