The son of Orwin & Alice (Klemp) Medendorp, he was born on December 20, 1935 in Muskegon. After graduating from Muskegon High School, Gordon then went on to work for Brunswick Corp. where he retired after 42 years. Shortly after retiring Gordon and his wife moved to Florida. Years later he decided to move back to Michigan and be closer to his family. Gordon had many passions but his favorite thing to do was spending time with his family. His daughters and their families meant the world to him and playing with the grandkids brought him such joy.
