Husband to Teresa and Father to Helen, Lisa, Lynsey and Lesley. Gordon was an avid tennis player, lawn bowls enthusiast and rugby league fanatic. He also enjoyed playing golf, watching James Bond Movies and spending time with his family and friends. He also loved to eat (steak, chips and beans was a fav)! Having lived in England for most of his life, with a stint in Italy owning a fish and chip shop, he moved his family to Australia in 1990 where he spent the rest of his life. Gordon was a grandfather to Chance, Ace, Kenzie, Harvey, Caius and Arden and was adored by so many. He was fortunate to have had lifelong friendships with John & Sylvia, Vin, Trevor and Ray. He was a kind man with a great sense of humour and was a true English "gentleman". He will be so missed. Please add to this tribute with your thoughts and condolences and any stories or images you might have of Gordon over the years. A private family service will take place this Friday where these messages will be shared.

The only vaguely positive thing about someone's passing is that you instinctively allow yourself to think about that person and invariably it brings a smile to your face as you remember them. I have many memories of Gordon, he was always the cool uncle with his love of technology and nice things, very different to his brother (my father) ! I remember helping with his horse racing prediction program, entering all the details from the sporting life for every horse hoping against hope that we'd get a recommendation for a bet and when we didn't (computer says no bet) he'd shrug and give a little chuckle about the time lost and say maybe it was for the best. He had a red, white and black BBC computer, complete with original floppy disks long before anyone else had one. I was mesmerised! I remember him taking me to Wheldon Road to try and convert me to Castleford, even though I was Leeds. He'd admonish my lack of belief in my 'roots' with a little glint in his eye. I remember his love of Tennis and him playing at Savile park with his flowing hair, cap and extravagant moustache. I watched often and he encouraged me to play when possible. I remember Kerry the slobbery dog and us all going to Mamma Mia in Pontefract for a farewell meal shortly before Australia happened. I remember my dad going out to visit (between heart attacks!) and coming back absolutely gushing over the entire experience, which wasn't at all what I expected! I think ultimately my admiration for him peaked with his decision to emigrate back in the 90's (despite Helen crying all over me at the airport!). The 3 L's were too little to really understand back then but I'm sure now they realise what a gift it was that he made a tremendously brave decision to move to Oz. A man with the courage of his convictions, a good man, my uncle. God bless. Ian
