Farewell, Uncle Gordon

 

Our cousin David informed us a few days ago that his father, our Uncle Gordon Newton, had suffered a bad fall. To everyone's sorrow, Uncle Gordon passed away today. He was 94. 

Here he is at our wedding back in 2007, the last time I saw Uncle Gordon in person. I feel very fortunate that Sean, Sylvia and I talked to him several times in 2025. He was as sharp as ever, and I've always been impressed by his intelligence, his kindness, and his wit. He had a great voice, too. 

My heart is with our cousins David, Barbara, and Kathy.

Thanks once again to my cousin David Newton, here's another blast from the past: a photo of me sitting on the lap of David's sister Barbara, who recently retired from her nursing career.
