Our thoughts are with you all at this time. There are very vivid memories of Gordon in his shed at Cane St on Saturday afternoons and cricket was always on the radio.

So sorry to see Gordon has passed. Knew him before he came to Timaru and in more recent times saw him only occasionally but he always made the meeting important. A great guy.
