Denise, Jennifer, and Gorden Jr,

We are so sorry for your loss. "Big Gorden" was truly a kind person with a great sense of humor. I remember him dressing up on Halloween, sitting on the front porch, and scaring all of us neighborhood kids. I even remember the whole neighborhood getting together to set up our pool, but specifically Gorden who really put in the extra effort to help my dad. Great memories...My family and I continue to pray for you all. Remember the good times.

Dimi, Jason, and Anthi Crowell
