It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Joe Gordon, Sr., has passed away. Joe, who celebrated his 100th birthday earlier this year, was the bedrock of the firm and still maintained regular office hours. Recently, he was honored for his 70 years as an active member of the Rotary Club of Tacoma No. 8, the longest stint in all of Rotary International. He liked to say he followed General McArthur's philosophy: Don't retire, just fade away. We will miss him terribly.
