William “Moose” Gordon of Sefton Drive in Bristol 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) 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, Mass.
Moose worked as a Toll Collector for the R.I. 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.
An avid Red Sox and Patriots fan, he rarely missed a game. Moose was an avid news watcher, and Providence Journal and Bristol Phoenix reader! He loved to keep in touch with what was going on in the world.
Though he had numerous health challenges over the last few years, he always remained positive, and was at the ready with a joke, making sure to leave everyone laughing.
Calling hours were held on May 12, and burial will be private.
