He graduated from Mandan High School in 1947 and then attended Bismarck Junior College, graduating with an Associate Degree in Engineering. Gordon enlisted in the US Army National Guard in 1947 and served in the Korean War from 1951-1952. Returning home he worked as an airplane mechanic for the ND National Guard, retiring in 1991.
As a sportsman, he enjoyed hunting for birds and deer with his family and friends. His most rewarding experience was when he got his Elk in Montana. A true "Jack of all trades", Gordon will be remembered for his ability to work on anything. His greatest treasure was spending time with his entire family.
