I grew up with Gene in Memphis and we spent hours playing baseball. When he moved to Enterprise, he got me to visit him so I could pitch for Quitman semi pro baseball team where he was a team member. When he was on the Millsaps baseball team, I was pitching for William Carey College and he hit a triple off of me. I just learned of his passing and send my condolences to the family. He was a good friend and a wonderful Christian Minister. Bill Payne- Madison, Ms.
Reverend Gordon married me and my husband 41 years ago. My husband tried to pay him $20 for his service, but Reverend Gordon told him to go buy me something nice.
Loved his sermons when he was at Webb Chapel United Methodist Church. I remember him watching the clock on football Sundays so he could be done in time to watch the Cowboys play.
He will be missed!
