Gordon was an avid community member being a 4-H leader for many years, a charter member of the Springside Lions Club, a member of the Springside Credit Union Board and on the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Committee.

In later years, he loved to travel with his children and grandchildren. His sense of humour brought many a smile to his family members and friends. He loved the farm life, music, movies and sports.
