Godspeed, Gordon

Today I received news that, after a long period of declining health, Gordon went to be with his Lord last week.

I have known Gordon for quite a few years, and whilst we were never particularly close friends, on my regular visits to Poatina, I would usually run into him and he would always have a smile and a warm greeting (although I missed him on my last few visits, as he was too ill to be out and about around the village).

He was a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and close friend to a large number of people who have been part of my life for a long time, and I know that he will be greatly missed.

Special love and prayers at this time to Agnes, Anne, Jenny and the whole extended family.
