Gordon loved spending time with his family and friends. He enjoyed cars, traveling, telling jokes and playing tennis. He was a great tennis player and was one of the founding members of the Yakima Tennis Club. He was adored by his family, friends, and everyone who met him. Gordon will be missed so much because he was loved by so many.
