We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
I will remember, his face light up when he told me a silly little joke, Watching ‘Chip and Dale’ with him, and how neat it was, that he could feed a squirrel by hand. Rest in peace Grandpa Gordon.
– with love,
Jessica Franks. 💐

We honor Gordon by planting a tree with warmest remembrances of how they both enjoyed the squirrels in the backyard.
I worked with Gordon many years at Rockwell-Collins. He was always very dedicated; cared about his work and about people. My condolences to all of his family.
