He was the husband of Ramona Barkyoumb of Hopkinton. His love of family was evident. He treasured the family gatherings. A jokester at heart-he loved to make others laugh and his love of life was contagious. Gordon was a music lover. Frequently referred to as the "Vermont Fiddler" and winning numerous contests - he brought people together with his music. As a former farmer, his love of the land stayed with him as he enjoyed his tractor and his garden. His love of animals never left him-he always had the best trained dogs and of course loved his cats. He loved his Red Sox and remained a loyal fan throughout the years. How lucky he was to see them win another World Series.
