Gordon was unique as a man and father. I grew to like him as a human being with character and passion for life.He had a great sense of humour and was very alert to the last minute of his long journey.I always enjoyed his visits to my place in Milsons Point where we used to enjoy a glass of scotch together.
RIP good man.We will always remember you.
