Gordon retired in 1997 from a career in marketing and advertising.  At the time of retirement, he was director of marketing and advertising for the Lucas Dealership Group, Inc., a large auto company with dealerships throughout the San Francisco Bay area and Hawaii. 

He met his wife, the former Judy Oclassen, at Kenmore Junior High in 1952, and they married in 1957.  They have a daughter, Lorraine Timmons, who is a homemaker and has raised five children (his and hers).  Son, Dean, father of two daughters, was an executive chef who died 4/8/03.  Their son, Mark, has one daughter, and is a drywall and framing estimator.  They also have five great grandchildren. 

Gordon has served with the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Department as a volunteer in their community service unit.  During that five year period, he served as assistant executive director and assisted in their patrol unit, emergency response team and boat patrol.  It was with the boat patrol unit where he and his fellow volunteers, received  special commendation from the director of the FBI.  Other volunteer work included serving on the board of directors for their local Twain Harte Homeowner’s Association and the Twain Harte Lake Association.  He is currently a copy editor and journalist for the Sierra Mountain Times, a local weekly newspaper which can be viewed on line at sierramountaintimes.com.  Gordon does a lot of volunteer work in their little mountain community of Twain Harte, which is located three hours east of San Francisco and one hour from Yosemite National Park in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains. 

Hobbies are golf, desk top publishing (he produces several monthly newsletters for local groups), painting, specializing in dog portraits, and reading.
