Gordon was a big man with a zest for living life to the fullest, a man with a big heart who cared for family in a big way. Chuchit was very blessed to have Gordon as father in-law, and Sage will miss her grandpa. We all cherish the moments that we shared with Gordon. We pray for the eternal repose of his soul.

I never met Mr. Gordon F. Keyes. From what I heard and knew,he was a great father-in law for Chuchit, a great Dad and grandfather for Sage.
Our prayers for him and the whole family. May he rest in peace in the heavenly banquet.

Dad,
I don't think God realized what a challenge he will have on his hands when he took you on Sunday. But Im sure you will try to change his mind with your opinion. Thank you for being my father and for all your love and support. I miss your being but feel your presence. Your spirit has become a guardian angel watching and guiding over us. May the angels watch over you in that"great big hunting ground up above" And maybe, just maybe you'll get that big one that always got away. I love you.
Love Donna, Rick, Eric , Lauren and Jason
