Gordon's Rememberence

Gordon Robert Smyth was born on November 26, 1921 in Cleveland Ohio and passed away on December 10, 2011.
Gordon joined the Army in 1941 during W.W.II and fought in the Battle of The Bulge. Gordon worked in engineering and started his own company making service equipment, missile containers, cots, practice bombs etc., before retiring in 1983.
He was an avid skier, pilot of his Cessna and lived on his 42 foot houseboat on the Mississippi. He eventually came to L.A. where he met his beloved Gladys Clements and stayed. The two of them traveled approx. 18,000 miles in their motorhome. They moved to Pine Mountain Lake where they enjoyed their pontoon boat and Gordon captained the Champagne boat tours. They eventually moved to Rancho Buena Vista in Santa Maria where Gordon made many friends and eventually passed away.
He is survived by Gladys, daughter Vicki, grandchildren T.D. and Lauren, nephew Dave Tuttle. He was also a father by love to his extended family, Janice, David, Kim, Ralph and Anthony.
