Harvey Sheldon Gordon, beloved husband, incredible father, adored Papa, great grandpa, and WWII veteran, would have been 95 on August 24". His proudest achievements were his children: Gary (Victoria), Debbi (Mitchell Klein), Dr. Glenn (Brenda) and Dr. Alan (Dr. Adriana Holy); the love of his life, Eleanore, nee Cossoff, with whom he shared a love affair for over 70 years, predeceased him in 2016.

Dearest brother of Dolly (Bob Oppman), cherished uncle of many loving nieces and nephews, adored cousin and friend of many.
