OBITUARY
GORDON —Richard
Carver Gordon went to heaven
peacefully the wee hours of
March 17, 2018, at Spruce
Point Assisted Living in
Florence.
Richard was born in 1921 in
Cleveland, Ohio; educated in
Los Angeles; graduated from
Alexander
Hamilton
High School;
attended
S a n t a
M o n i c a
J u n i o r
College;
played varsi-
ty baseball at
Richard
both schools;
Gordon
and
was
tagged with the nickname
“Flash” Gordon. His favorite
educational experience was at
Colorado College in Colorado
Springs, Colo.
Richard served in the Navy
during WWII for four years.
After that, he entered the
University
of
Southern
California on the G.I. Bill,
graduated with a psychology
major. He married Nancy Jean
Willard in West Los Angeles
and was happily married for 55
years until her death in 2003.
He was employed with Clary
Multiplier-Corp, was promoted
and transferred to Clary’s
Denver office as branch man-
ager. Upon his resignation, he
accepted a sales position with
BM&T Paper in Los Angeles,
where he worked 27 years and
received “Salesman of the
Year” awards.
Richard spoke in glowing
terms of his years as a sales-
man. He had found his “niche.”
When he retired, he and Nancy
moved to Palos Verdes, Calif.,
then to Portola, Calif.
When they sold their home
in Portola, they became “King
and Queen of the Road” for 10
years, traveling around the
United States. “What is the best
thing about this marvelous
country? The people.”
Richard and Nancy ended
their “gypsy lives” and settled
in Florence. He joined the Elks,
St. Andrew Episcopal Church,
the PROSS group and volun-
teered at the Florence Events
Center and FAAHP.
“My favorite town in the
USA? Easily, Florence, Ore.”
We, as dear friends of
Richard, wish to express our
deepest gratitude to the won-
derful and caring staff at
Spruce Point and also the
Hospice staff.
And thank you, Dr. Powley,
for loving Richard as much as
we all did. Richard leaves to
mourn a host of friends — to
know him was to love him.
What a gentle, wonderful man,
full of wit, charm, impeccable,
good old-fashioned manners,
intelligence, and oh, that mis-
chievous sparkled in his eyes.
Rest well, Richard, we’ll see
you soon.
Richard’s service will be
held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday,
April 4, at St. Andrew’s
Episcopal Church.
Interment will be in the
church memorial garden.
In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made to the Florence
Hospice Program.

C ORRECTION
In the front-page article,
“Service, Sacrifice of Vietnam
Vets Recognized Nationally,”
in the March 28 issue of the
Siuslaw News, it was reported
that Patrick La Nasa served in
both Korea and Vietnam; he
was on active duty for the
Korean conflict but was not
deployed there. He did, how-
ever, serve two tours in
Vietnam during his 20-year
service in the U.S. Marine
Corps between 1952 and 1972.
Siuslaw News regrets the
error.
