I am sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during these difficult times.
Scott & family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Reading the obituary, your dad seemed like a neat person to know. You’ll be in my prayers.
I’ve shared two photos of Uncle Gordan. This picture of the 1948 Cameron Yoemen Baseball team is hanging in the Texas Burger in Cameron.
He was a wonderful Uncle will be missed.
Scott, I’m so sorry. I’m thinking of you. Elaine
Janie and family, I am so saddened by Gordon’s death. I so want to be there tomorrow, but as I told you I have a flight to Germany tomorrow. I always loved Gordan, and remember how thrilled I was that you all were getting married. I always thought my cousin Janie was the coolest person in the world. Please know that my thoughts and prayers have been with you these past few days. Love you all.
Scott, I am very sad to hear about the loss of your father.
I am sorry for the loss of your father. I hope you are all able to find peace in the memories you have of him. Your family is in my prayers.
