Gordon is a gem of a man who has now left us. I got to know him through organbuilding which was a long standing interest of his. We worked together on a number of projects including a rebuild of a Hammond A-100 tone generator for which he machined precision bearings which have not been available anywhere in the world that I know of for at least 45 years. Gordon was a model of human goodness. He was humble and unassuming, loyal, honest, careful, considerate, responsible, had a good sense of humour, hard working, and thorough in everything he did. His love for Flo and his family was easily apparent. It is a loss to us, a great loss indeed. But his friendship will not die. His spirit of goodness lives on as does his love for his family and friends. We will meet again my friend! Our paths did not cross for nothing. The best part is yet to come. Thank you Gordon, for your friendship and support. Thank you for your good and instructive example. Thank you Gordon for restoring my confidence in the goodness of humanity. May you now be granted the eternal reward you so much deserve. May you rest in peace and may we meet again!
