Richard H. Gordon

Richard H. Gordon, 90, of Liverpool, NY, passed away on Thursday with family at his side.

Richard joined the Marines in 1951 where he served in the Korean conflict then was in the reserves for 40 years retiring in 1991 as CWO04. He worked at Carrier Corp. for over 30 years and traveled as a Service Engineer to Africa, Nova Scocia, Seattle, New Orleans and other cities in the US. He had a love for model trains and the circus at an early age so when he was traveling for Carrier he would make plans well ahead of his trips to meet up with other train collectors in these cities to forge lifetime friendships. Dick, as his friends knew him, was a member of the Eastern TCA for almost 50 years and was actively involved with the Hoxie Tucker Circus Model Builders Club locally for many years as well.

He was predeceased by his wife, M. Diane; daughter, Irene Otis and a grandson, Richard Casey.

Richard is survived by children, Richard W. (Margery Casey) and Michael P.(Pasqualina); grandchildren, Jennifer Simmons, Candi (Janet) Gordon, Tiffany (Robert) O'Gorman, Victoria (James) Bates, Juliana (Mason) Koechle, Heather Otis and Lance Otis.

Calling hours will be Saturday, November 20, 2021 9 AM- 11AM at New Comer Cremations & Funerals with a service to follow at 11 AM. Burial will follow in Our Lady of Peace Cemetery, Baldwinsville. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity near and dear to Dick's heart, "Marine Toys for Tots" at toysfortots.org
