Messages Of Condolence

Gordon was a gentleman, comedian, loved to entertain had excellent timing for telling jokes. Also was a first reserve if anyone let us down for an evening meal. Gordon never talked about his past experience during World War 11 until he was asked, then Gordon gave a History group in Wellesbourne a 45 minute talk without any notes of his experiences but was careful not to be critical of the enemy or dwell on the suffering which he must/did endure through during his time as a prisoner of war. David and I were fortunate to go on several holidays with Gordon and Jo and it was always a really enjoyable experience. Although one year Jo and I sprayed ourselves with mosquito repellant so Gordon lying on the sunbed between us attracted all the insects much to his annoyance. We are happy to say we have numerous memories of Gordon and we are glad we knew him.
Carol and David Turland
