Obituary for William G. "Moose" Gordon
William "Moose" Gordon passed away peacefully at the age of 57 on May 8, 2018.
Born in Providence, he was the son of the late Shirley B (Manchester) and William W Gordon.
He was the beloved brother of Mary Beth Manuel (Arthur), Sharon Gordon, and Gail Kelly of Bristol, and Gerri Gordon (John Barney) of Warwick.
He was also the brother of the late Susan Gordon. Moose also leaves his nephew, Kevin Manuel of Arlington, VA and his niece and godchild, Lauren Manuel of Franklin, MA.
Moose worked as a Toll Collector for the RI Turnpike & Bridge Authority until retirement. He was a longtime member of the Bristol Elks, and Elk of the Year 1995. He was a former volunteer fireman for the Ever-Ready Engine Co in Bristol, and a member of the 21 Man Club.
Though he had many health challenges over the years, he always remained positive, at the ready with a joke, and made sure to always leave everyone laughing.
An avid Red Sox and Patriots fan, he rarely missed a game. Also a fierce news junkie, Moose never failed to read the Providence Journal and the Bristol Phoenix.
Calling hours will be at Smith Funeral Home in Warren on Saturday, May12th from 2-5 PM, and burial will be private.
