God does only take the best,Lots of good memories of us at Lowes 275,My heart and thoughts to Rick, Mickey and family. Too many good times. R.I.P SUGARPANTS Tina Ward
The only comfort I find is that you are not in pain anymore. I guess I did not know how bad your pain was–you were not a complainer. That is inspiring in a world where it is too easy to be that way. When I work in my yard I will think of you. I took a peach off of your peach tree. I am going to plant the seed and I hope it grows in your honor. Love, your cousin, Becky
You now have wings,and are pain free.You can enjoy the beauty heaven holds,flowers and no weeding them,cody and all of the other animals up there.I miss you so much,I still think of telling you things,and I realize you went home. Love and hugs to you. Robert Suter 9/19/2013
I’m very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort provide the much needed comfort for you at this difficult time. Jesus promises at John 5:28, 29 that ‘those in thememorial tombs will hear his voice come out.’ My deepest condolences

We watched Gordon grow up. Good memories. He sure decorated our neighborhood at Christmas time.
Gordon loved Christmas, he recently reduced his Christmas decoration inventory and gave me 4 Christmas trees!! I think he still has 3 🙂 Christmas won’t be the same!
Gordon will be greatly missed by an old school friend and co-worker.
Gordon was the best big brother in the entire world! He always encouraged me to challenge myself. He treated me like I was valuable to him. He made me feel like life was worth living at a time when it wasn’t. He was my hero. I thank God for giving me Gordon to be my brother and my friend. I will miss him very much for the rest of my life!
Dora it was an honor to just know him sorry for your loss!
What a bond there was between you two! You were a great little sister and friend to him!! I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you feel. I will keep you in my heart and prayers!

Gordon, It has been many years since we worked together at the big Nice-Pak. You were a good friend, always able to make us laugh. I ran into you at Lowes up at 10th st. and you came right up and gave me a big hug like there was never any time since we were together. I’ll will always remember your smile and the way you liked to boss all of us women around. It was a pleasure getting to have you in my life. The world will miss you. God Bless all of your family Debbie Vandevanter lo
I worked with Gordon for almost eight years at Lowe’s. Immediately he and I hit it off and I considered Gordon to be a great friend. My thoughts and prayers are with Rick, his family and his furry kids. Gordon will be greatly missed.
I have to say Gordon gave me a little of his green thumb. With his advice, my flower garden has been growning beautiful. We will miss you. Thank God for Heaven.

I had worked with Gordan at Lowe’s in Greenwood. What a wonderful man that heaven will receive, he never knew a stranger and always smiled when he was even in pain. He will be terribly missed, My god be with his family and friends in this time of Sorrow.
