The UniLu community gives thanks for the life of longtime member George Stanwood Gordon, Jr. (90), of Concord, Mass., who passed away peacefully with family by his side on Thursday, August 28, 2025, following a period of declining health. George was born in Lynn, Mass., on January 8, 1935, to his late parents, George Stanwood Gordon, Sr. and Alma Langille Gordon. George was married to Clarice “Clare” (née Barrett) Gordon of St. Paul, Minnesota, for over 65 years. They raised five children in Lexington, and later retired to Arlington and Concord. George loved spending time at their summer cottage at Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire with his family and friends.
George was an active member of University Lutheran Church from 1963 until his death. He had a deep faith, and enjoyed Bible Study groups and learning about other faiths. He was a kind and generous person, believing that God loves everyone equally and that we are caretakers of each other and our planet. Read the full obituary.
