Amy, 64, also spoke out about Gordon’s passing, taking to the post’s comments section to share how she’s “going to miss him lots too.”
“So many memories,” she wrote. “Never often enough to take all you four kids to see grandma and grandpa over the years. I’m happy you had a chance to go and visit grandpa with me as an adult. I hope each one of you will have a special fond memory of him.”
Gordon was “known for his witty sense of humor as well as his ability to create, build, and survive,” according to his obituary.
He worked as a civil/structural engineer for Ford Motor Company for 30 years and enjoyed participating in historical re-enactments during retirement.
