Gordon, a man of quick wit and boisterous laugh, died Jan. 31, 2013, in Manchester, Vt.
He entered Princeton from Deerfield. He majored in history, was on the business board of the Tiger, and belonged to Court Club.
Gordon served four years on a destroyer during the Korean War and earned a master’s degree in business from Columbia in 1958. In 1971, he left his position as an investment broker for Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City and moved to his family farm in Cambridge, N.Y. At the time of our 25th reunion, he wrote that living in a rural environment more than offset his 40-mile commute to Albany, where he was senior vice president of investments for Farm Family Insurance and, later, chief investment officer of the Picotte Companies, commercial real-estate providers.
Always civic- and community-minded, Gordon served on many boards in Albany and in Dorset, Vt., where he moved after his retirement in the mid ’90s. These included Mary McClellan Hospital, the Bennington (Vt.) Museum, Hubbard Hall, an 1878 Rural Opera House, and the Dorset Theatre Festival.
Besides looking after the farm, Gordon enjoyed tennis and golf.
Our condolences go to Dotty, his wife of more than 50 years; children Sarah and David; and six granddaughters.
