All my love to the wonderful daughter and her family left behind. You have left a great legacy to carry on. I will miss your phone calls! Till we meet again my dear brother. Love Karla Friedli Cleverley

Gordon was a classmate of mine from the fourth grade at Adams through high school.  I remember and will cherish that friendship forever.  I have told "Gordon" stories to my own grand children.  

To Juliane and family, know that your father was loved and will be missed.

I first met Gordon in my homeroom in 7th grade.  It didn't take me long to take a liking to him, as he outdid me for who would be the biggest class clown.

My sincere condolences to the family and close friends for this loss.  Given Gordon's obvious love for his family, golf and fishing, his life must have filled with joy and happiness.

Gordon,
I will especially miss your sense of humor. Each time I think of working at the L.A. Tournament you come to mind and I start laughing and smiling. Gordon, we had some good times at GTE. I met your daughter Julianne, a wonderful young lady.
I will keep your family in my prayers.
You will be missed!

too bad Gordon,I will even miss hearing Elton John music,I remember  when you used to play it when  working at the telephone B-Box by my home.
So long....tonymiano

Going to miss you brother. We never did get to wet our flies together on the Logan River or the Provo river. Always going to with good intensions. Should have made the time. We will be praying for you Juliane and your family.

Gordon was one of my best friends growing up in Logan in our teen years.  Every day was an adventure with "Gordo". We had an absolute blast, from working on our cars, dragging main in the "vette", working in the Tetons and laughing all the time....they were some of the best years and memories of my life.  I got to see Gordon a few times after we both left Logan and headed to California, me in the Navy and he to Santa Monica.  I regret that we lost touch with each other as our lives changed over the years.  I will always remember and cherish the great times that we had.  My deepest condolences to his family.

Gordon was a fun loving person in High School and we all loved The apartment in logan. You went off to cali and left us here so I'm going to kick your but next time I see you. Im sure he slowed down because the pace he went as a youngster would have burned him out at 40... sounds like he loved golf. May the good Lord bless and keep you till we meet again..

Gordon and family,
You and I have been friends for so many years. It was a shock to hear of your passing. Your humor, care for others, and friendship will be greatly missed. I hope that your reunions with deceased loved ones was wonderful and that we will have opportunity to renew our friendship again; down the road.

Your good friend,
Theron Olsen

I worked with Gordon on his projects while I worked at GTE/Verizon, he wasn't always patient but he was always kind and I enjoyed being his go to person in the office.  It was my pleasure to have known him and enjoyed our conversations.  Rest in peace my friend.  God bless your family.

I will miss you very much brother. I will really miss hearing you tell me you are gonna come on up here and kick my butt for some reason or another, mostly cause I didn't call enough. We all have truly lost an amazing spirit. I love you Gordon. Juliane - keep the faith and Stay Brave!

I like to remember how he was, playing with my daughter and niece and nephew
at so many Sunday barbeques.  He was a good person to work with and know,
and I am glad we had the opportunity.  Everyone will miss him,

Larry & I knew Gordon through his past relationship & continuing friendship with our Daughter, Andrea & Granddaughter, Theresa. He was a special person & will be greatly missed by them & by us, too.

   Gordon has been a great part of my life from my earliest memories as a child through the present and will always continue to be. Much more than an uncle he was my friend. His sense of humor and personality was truly one of a kind and will be greatly missed. 
  You always told me to make you proud and I love you for that! You are forever in all of our hearts!

I am sad to hear of Gordon's passing, we worked together for many years together for GTE at the L.A. Open Tournament. He will be missed by many. My condolances to his family.

Such wonderful memories of a brother who was well loved. Getting your picture in the Herald Journal for collecting coat hangers, playing in the yard at Dad's, ice skating at Central Park with Uncle Joe (Dad's brother) as the one who manned the watch in the little warming building and fired up the coal burning stove while playing the 45 record of Itsy BitsyTeeny Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini. I'll miss you dear brother and keep you in my heart forever. Tell Dad "hi" from all of us when you meet in heaven. Juliane, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We love you!

I can't believe we will not enjoy Gordon's unique sense of humor infused with his subtle wit.  How could this happen? So much in one man, and so much saddness and sense of loss with his premature passing.  I can't help but cry when I thing about this.  My love to his family and friends.  I feel your pain.  I can nor will ever forget Gordon. One of my favorite people on this earth.
