I studied Architecture with Gordon at UCD/Richview starting in Sept 2002
Gordon made a huge impression on our class of eager architectural students who ranged in age from 18 to 52yo that particular year
I know that Gordon went on to apply his considerable talents in forging a successful career back in his beloved North-West
I would like to send my sincere condolences to Gordon’s family, friends and colleagues and let you know that Gordon will be remembered amongst his Classmates of Richview 2002
