I too have lost a Father, Uncle Bob. He took the place of my father, Frank Gordon, and helped us through that grief.
Uncle Bob was the Monarch of the "GORDON'S". We have lost a loving, caring, and a genuine man who loved his family, which included his relatives also,and he took care of all of us. God Bless his family and remember he loved you all. I will "Miss Him" as all of you will.
