I grew up with Gordon on the Cowan farm near Storden MN. I happened to stumble across this and I am so sad to hear of his passing! He is missed by the whole Cowan Family. My condolences...

I met Gordon many many years ago through the cable industry. He was a wizard at his occupation and had a reputation for completing any task offered to him; whether it be an occupational task and assisting someone in need. His time was always your time if you needed him.

May the family and his Illowa partners carry on for Gordon in all facets of life. He will be truly missed by many. REMEMBER the good times.

Rest in peace my friend, you truly deserve it.

Sharon Winters and family

Gordon's love and passion for his animals were obvious in his application for Belle. Because of his candid responses, we realized he was the perfect home for Belle. We are so blessed knowing we made absolutely the best choice for Belle when she went to be with Gordon. The numerous emails and pictures he sent to us showed the joy she brought to him.

Although we never met Gordon, we consider him a close friend and will miss him and his updates on Hollywood Belle.

I truly want to express my sympathy with his close friends and family. Gordon was way too young to leave us so soon.

I went on a fishing trip to Louisiana with Gordon right after we met at the White Horse Inn, where we both frequented quite often.

I will really miss Gordon as he was always there when I needed himand we swapped a lot of different foods.

Right now I am in Florida and won't be home till April 1st. I've

This is indeed a very sad day for all of us that were blessed to have known Gordon. His passing has left a huge void that may never be filled within the Illowa/Mediacom family. Gordon showed by example what can be achieved through honesty, integrity, dedication and commitment. I will forever remember Gordon for his great sense of humor and his will to live life to the fullest. My condolences to his family, Illowa family and friends.
