Marco Truffelli Dear Gordon, You have left us prematurely. But you have left a sign and you never will be forgotten. Marco

John Ainslie Great times in the hills of the lake district, Ben Nevis and a few other adventures. Great times and good fun, many memories but the outstanding one is of Gordon running up the side of a mountain, full of energy, his blond hair flopped to one side with a big grin on his face, loving life and making me wish i was ten years younger again. Its always good to meet new people but even better when they become friends, my thoughts are with your family and friends. Until the next time.

Gordon Yuill Sally & Lauren So sorry to hear about Gordon’s untimely passing. Our words of condolence will never make up for your loss and hurt, but we wanted you to know that like the many, many others who’ve added to this page, we will remember Gordon with happiness, and would like to share this memory with you. When GW decided, in 2010, to join a group of us and sign up to take on the 157km-long Ronde Van Vlaanderen sportive, he admitted that, while fit, he was not much of a long-distance cyclist. Indeed, during a couple of early training rides he was blowing out of his backside after around 20kms, so there was some concern about his abilities on the bike, and plenty of work to do. On the subject of backsides, I was particularly disapproving of the padded cushion that this otherwise tough, strapping gent had fitted to his saddle, to protect his seemingly delicate derrière. However, I can’t actually tell you whether he had his ‘special cushion’ on for the day of the big ride, as one minute he was riding with us, and the next he was off up the road; fuelled by a mixture of fierce competitive spirit and being caught up in the excitement of it all. I may well have caught a fleeting glance of him at one of the feed stations along the way, in a crowd of well wrapped-up cyclists scoffing fistfuls of Belgian waffles, but the next time I definitely saw him he was waiting at the finish, with the usual big smile across his face. Gordon had finished ahead of all of us – even the member of the group who blamed his bike computer for guiding him on a not-insignificant shortcut. The man was a machine! The following day we went to watch the professionals showing how it was supposed to be done. A beer tent had been spied during our ride, and so we headed there to join the locals; paying a 25€ entry fee that included all the Belgian beer you could drink – which of course we all did. It’s fair to say we got much, much more than our money’s worth over the course of the day. As the pros raced past Gordon was in wonder, soaking up the atmosphere, and almost unbelieving of how close we were to the action. Gordon was great company that weekend, as he was every time we met. Naturally friendly, he was welcoming and chatty, and had an enthusiasm for pretty much everyone and everything. He was, no, is – to use a word he was heard to utter on occasion – ‘awesome’. With love from Gordon Y, Emma, Alice & Isobel

Vivienne Shen Gordon, You brought me to the LNG world seven years ago. You've played a big role in my career as a mentor, but you've played a bigger role in my life as a friend. You've carried a big smile on you all the time, no matter how hard it is. You are always fun to be around. You are one of the most genuine people I know. You say out everything that crosses your mind, and you tease yourself for not being able to internalize and be politically correct. You push yourself extremely hard in the gym, but you can't quit eating a huge chocolate bar and drinking two cans of coke everyday. You use a lot of emojis in chats. You care about how other people are doing, and you offer help wherever and whenever you can. You are this big character that has impacted many people and will never be forgotten. Thank you for being an important part of my life. We will dearly miss you. My deepest condolences to Sally, Lauren, and the family. My heart is with you. Vivienne Shen

Robert Sims That time Gordon arrived for an evening dinner date only to find Sally had organised a massive surprise 40th Birthday Party. Sally, what an awesome job keeping that a secret... and a great effort by his friends to turn it into a Gordon themed dress up. Sally dressed as a Gordon's gin bottle, and there was a BP team who came completely dressed up as just... Gordon, complete with tight white shirts and Gordon face masks. He spent the whole evening sharing drinks and individually thanking everyone for coming, and wore the biggest grin on his face. I imagine this is how he'll be when we meet again.

Hassen KACEM Cheerful, full of life, authentic, extremely talented and extremely humble… this is how I will always remember Gordon. I truly feel priviledegd and honoured of having crossed Gordon's path. What a huge loss and what an immense sadness… All my sympathy goes to Gordon's family and close ones.

Steve & Kate Longhurst Sally and Lauren, We are truly lost for words. Gordon was a one of a kind. The most remarkably positive and generous person and a great friend. An inspiration in life and in death. Our thoughts and hearts are with you now and always and we are here for you both when needed. Steve & Kate xxx Lauren, One story that will always remind me of your father… My 40th birthday party in Sum Yi Tai, Singapore. Your dad came along and knew just a few of my other friends at the start of the night but, by the end, pretty much everyone was aware of the smiling, friendly Scot. For me there are two memories from that night that define part of who your father was…. At around 11.30pm, from the main bar, I was wondering what all the noise and commotion was, coming from the neighbouring Karaoke room. Pushing open the door, the noise of thirty, or so, people, singing and shouting came through. Everyone was standing on the sofa, that wrapped the room, apart from one (bare-chested, shirtless) person standing on the glass table in the middle of the room, in front of everyone else, arms pointed towards the sky, neck tilted back as he sang as loud as he could manage – your dad. The next day, one of my friends (another Scot) that met your father that night asked me: “who’s your blond Scottish mate? I had a great chat with him. An impressive guy. Certainly the most positive, outgoing Scot I’ve ever met!” Typical of the man to leave such a big and positive impression on people. He will never be forgotten and always be in our hearts. Love Steve xx

Leonard Neo Thank you Gordon, for being one of the best boss and friend one can ask for. You have inspired and touched so many people's lives including mine. I will remember our times together fondly. We will miss you.

Paul Maguire We did not have the benefit of knowing Gordon for that long but he always impressed as a highly intelligent man who valued family and friends and who understood the importance of working hard but also enjoying life. We will miss him greatly and from all his colleagues at Engie APAC we express our sincerest condolences to Sally, Lauren and his entire family.

Bernard Esselinckx Gordon, I did not know you very well. We were ENGIE colleagues and we had a few opportunities to socialize around ENGIE activities or discussing business between Senoko and GEM. You were always very open during those discussions, which I enjoyed. I also remember we played a very competitive football game Senoko vs. GEM in a tournament organized by your team, which was fun! Another memory is that picture you Whatsapped me as part of an article on GEM, which you said you modelled for fun on that of Leonardo di Caprio in the Wolf of Wall Street! This is probably the image of you that will stick with me: fun loving, living life to the max, aggressive (in a nice way) and successful in business. My thoughts go to you, your wife and daughter, your family and your loved ones. RIP Gordon.

Tim Boyce I’m never usually short for words as you will know! But this is a tough one to begin. We met through football and bonded over post game beers. I remember meeting you for the first time and observing your peculiar pre game preparations where it was impossible to actually see your legs through all the knee braces and stretchy bandages! Looks were very much deceiving though as I soon became familiar with your tenacious tackling, your all out will to win and on occasions your penchant for berating the ref! Haha Off the pitch you were just great to be around. Such a lovely personality. ALWAYS smiling and never missed a chance to display your witty arsenal of put downs as we shared a beer with the lads. Fittingly the last time I saw you was at my 40th birthday party before lockdown and boy did we have a blast. It’s no recompense for the loss I feel but it gives me comfort knowing that when we were last together there were plenty of smiles had. You were truly one of life’s good guys and we’re all devastated with this cruel twist of fate. Rest in peace Gordo and I’ll see you again some time. Thoughts and prayers with all of your family at this incredibly difficult time. Much love as always, your friend Boycey ❤️

Jonathan Wong I am completely gutted to hear of your passing Gordon, initially I was hoping that it was misinformation but shortly after, reality set in. I will always remember you as full of life and energy, the only thing that surpassed that energy was your appetite for Cadbury Monster bars and gummy sweets. You never failed to bring back half a suitcase worth everytime you returned from the UK. I was fortunate enough to have sat beside you for about a year while you were trading manager in BP, you influenced me both professionally and personally. At work your professionalism shone through, your tag line was always "no pain, no gain" something I hold true to this day. On the personal side, I took up a gym membership and we shared the same personal trainer with your recommendation. I once asked if you would be a trader for life and the reply was no, you wanted to retire early and become more than that. You wanted to go into coaching and mentoring. During your farewell at BP you mentioned that you will miss the banter we share, likewise I will cherish the moments we shared together. I wish you rest in peace my friend. To Sally and family, I offer my deepest condolences. I am sorry for your loss. Jonny Wong(BP Singapore LNG Operations)

John Jones Gordon - you will be sadly missed. I still cannot believe it... I always enjoyed our chats, the time we worked at BP Grangemouth, doing our MBAs and the recent time we spend in Zanzibar together... The world is a sadder place without you..

Richard Waddington Gordon, we miss you so much already: you were always there with a smile and huge enthusiasm, whether cooking, playing with the kids, camping, or joining the ruby boys for a run around, you were never anything less than 150% present and involved. It was a pleasure to know you. I see all those great qualities in Lauren, you can be proud of her, smart, funny and will always be a credit to you.

Yang SHI Thanks Gordon for everything you did for me. You are not only my boss but also one of my best friends. I really miss you. Rest In Peace

Lee Randall Gordo, Where to start.... Totally shocked and stunned at your passing. The picture was from my last game of football in Singapore and it was truly a pleasure to play alongside you at centre back for that game. Getting to know you through football was a blessing, and you will always be remembered every time I cross the white line. As a lot of the TGA lads have described you first appearances were most definitely deceiving. Strapping on every part of your body never held you back, the effort and will to win you showed on the pitch was infectious. Just being around you grunting, screaming and chasing down opponents was more than enough for me to find my second wind and push again. Off the pitch in the hawker, pub, bar, whatever we could find after a game of football for a cold refreshment you were a pleasure to be around. Always good for a laugh and joke, always there to cheer you up after a loss and even more so celebrate a good win. Memories of the times we had will live long in my memory, I thank you for those and one day we will meet again my friend. Rest in Peace Gordo, a true TGA LEGEND. My deepest condolences and love to the family, hopefully the kind words on this page will bring some comfort... Gordo was a great man taken far too soon. When the tears start to build remember the good times and be sure to make the tears that fall happy. Lee Randall x

Desmond Huang Hey Gordon, Though the time we've spent both on and off the pitch together were far and few between, I've never had the chance to tell you how much I loved playing alongside you and having you filling in defence whenever the team needed you to. Your calm but tenacious presence will solely be missed by all, including the opposition. :P A fighter as you always have been, especially ever since the nasty bike accident you've had; may your life story continue to inspire and touch the hearts of many, just as you did with mine. It was never meant to be a goodbye, but a see you soon. Rest in peace. Godspeed. Des

Gregg Beeching Gordo, As I sit here trying to muster up the words to describe you as a man, I literally cannot think of anyone I know who has made a bigger impact on the others around them . A true gent in every definition. A great husband , father , friend , footballer ... ok maybe that’s a stretch :) You were one of the best, I still remember the day I met you and Sal . I thought to myself: God, here comes another cocky Scot but that couldn’t of been further from the truth! You took the time to listen to everyone no matter what, you never took sides, you never had a harsh word to say about anyone ... you were truly one of a kind. There are no words to describe the pain your family must be feeling during this time but I hope they take some comfort in knowing you passed doing what you loved. I will miss you mate and I’m not afraid of saying I loved you. Till we meet again big man! p.s - I have so many great photos of us but this was my favorite of you - not sure what you came as mate but it looked hilarious. Love and hugs to Sal and Lauren Beech xx

Jennifer Gillespie Gogsie, I have many memories, which one to pick from..... this is us in Bali, this makes me laugh as your dad thought this was you and Sal 😂. This is also the holiday you and I argued over 20p, you tight arse.... Whatever you are doing right now, I’m sure it will be extreme, as always... We promise to take care of Sal and Lauren as best we can. Fly high Gogsie. You will be missed. All our love, Jenn, Hugh, Roan and Fern xxxx

Kerena Khun Dearest Sally and Lauren, On behalf of the NAPIC and Kuma Cambodia family in Cambodia, were deeply saddened upon the news of Gordon's death. Although we have never met him, but his reputation has contributed to the rescue and fundraising efforts for the vulnerable Cambodian Children in Cambodia. All sacrifices to contribute to helping poor and vulnerable children in Cambodia, even during the difficult time at the funeral, Sally requested no flowers but the family and friends can make donations to help our School and students. These words touching our hearts, we cannot stop our tears... WE have no more words than a million thanks for your continuous support and generosity. All the time we see Gordon’s photo we were in tears... He keep smiling to us and giving us a big hope... Why he left us so early... He should come to see us at least one time before he went to the heaven... That is not fair...his name has been saved in our hearts. In response to Gordon and his family, we all hold a three-day of mourning prayers from July 2, 2020 to July 4, 2020, with the participation of the management team, staff, students, parents and guardians. As soon as our staff, students, parents and guardians saw Gordon's photo, we felt he is still alive with us and still giving us a big hope here. We are in tears and we cannot stop crying at the loss of a wonderful donor. We do feel sorry for you, your daughter, your family and friends. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Our hearts are with you and always. With deepest sympathy! Kerena Khun

Ruben da Silva Hey Gordon. I still remember our conversation a couple months ago and your advice. As always, you were the same great person I remembered from Singapore. I regret not having the opportunity to share more time with you, but I can tell you even the short time I was in Singapore and now 3 years later you had an impact on me. It was a pleasure knowing you and I will forever remember you my friend. I was watching the video yesterday when I assisted your goal and it made me smile. What legend and what a big person you were. Thinking of you my friend and your family.

Alex Helme Gordo, I cannot believe you are no longer here with us. I first met you properly at a TGA awards night not long after you had recovered from your motorbike accident, but it was a couple of years after that when you came to play for the old boys of TGA Legends that I really got to know you. You were a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, a true inspiration to the rest of us, and you were possessed of the most valuable of qualities - a willingness to play at the back if needed! I remember once you missed a challenge, and then, screaming at yourself for having done so, you tracked that opponent back up the pitch, your Celtic screams infusing him with visible panic and terror until you managed to win the ball back some 40 yards away from the missed tackle. As vocal and intense as you were on the pitch, you were always such a nice bloke off of it. Always a measured voice in the team huddle, always ready to have a laugh on a night out. You then made it all the way to Hua Hin for my 40th birthday and whilst I know it was probably the kite surfing that really persuaded you, I am forever glad that you were there - it was a truly memorable landmark for me and I'm grateful you were a part of it. You will be sorely missed by all of us at TGA Legends. Quite simply, the team will not be the same without you. Rest in peace, my friend.

Ken Middleton I first met Gordon on day one of our MBA course at Edinburgh University. Gordon was the first person I spoke to as he came bounding up to me to introduce himself in his confident, enthusiastic and friendly manner which I believe was his trademark. I instantly knew that he would be my friend. Whilst over the years we have had very little face-to-face contact, Gordon and I kept in touch on a regular basis. I will miss him.

Gary Boland Gordo, Still lost for words, you were a champion bloke on and off the pitch. Used to love the pre-match laughs and post match beers. You always had a smile on your face and a lion in your heart, I admired your tenacity on the pitch and you would always be someone I wanted in the trenches with me. TGA have lost a true legend and I’ve lost a good mate. I pray your family and loved ones find the courage and strength to get through this. Your soul will live on with all of us. Rest In Peace brother.

Richard Waddington Here you are with all the kids on St Johns island, it was cold, wet and uncomfortable, but that didn't stop you having a great time and bringing everyone else along with you for the fun!

Greg Brooks Gordo, I was chatting to Beech yesterday and looking through photos of you, most of them seem to have you in fancy dress! Still can’t believe that you’re gone mate, it was only the other day you were helping me in such detail over that bike I was looking at. A two day chat about whether it was right for me and it wasn’t even yours to sell! You were always so generous with your time and knowledge. I know a lot of people will know you for the hugely successful guy you came to be, although to me you’ll always be Gordon in a t-shirt or Lycra (And occasional white singlet), cruising around Sentosa on your bike with your beautiful family. Each time I see Lauren on her bike around Sentosa, she reminds me of your outgoing and adventurous spirit. I also miss our court side tennis chats whilst Lauren & William sprayed balls everywhere! You always had enough fun stories and advice to pass the time. I can’t imagine what Sal and Lauren must be going through having lost such a tremendous father and partner. We will be there for them. I will miss you my friend. Greg & Debs

Tetsuro Toyoda Gordon, we did not have as much beer as before these days. I remember a few big nights including the one at Robertson Quay with numerous banzai shots. It is sad you go when you are still young. But I’m proud you did a lot of exiting things. Ted

Friends of KUMA and KUMA Community On behalf of the KUMA Cambodia community, both here in Singapore, in Phnom Penh, and around the world, we would like to thank you Gordon for your support of the KUMA School and our activities over the years. Sally and Lauren – we are all truly devastated. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. All our love.

Nick Kouvaritakis Gordon - as everyone else is I am completely devastated and struggling to come to terms with this. It is really hard in a message to capture what an incredible person that you are. Your personality and enthusiasm for life was simply infections and we have lost a truly special person - one of a kind. I still remember when we turned up 1.5 hours late for my wife’s birthday dinner, as we were drinking outside your office to celebrate your remarkable achievement on landing those 25 Egypt cargoes (which deserved a celebration). When we arrived late I thought that I was absolute toast (and you also!), but your charm managed to turn my Wife around (despite her fierce and unexacting temper) and we were celebrating with champagne and tequilas within about 45 mins of your arrival. The life and soul of the party and the type of person that everyone can get on with no matter what the circumstances. On a professional level you were simply immense and without a doubt the most impressive person that I have ever worked with and I am sure many others will share the same view. Amazingly quick to understand (and invent concepts) and razor sharp on the details and better at understanding the law than most the lawyers I have worked with. Amazing with people at all levels, and very generous with your time, and you made yourself was available to everyone no matter how junior and irrespective of class, gender or race. You helped inspire me like so many others to pursue a career in the LNG industry and you helped me along the way with your time, guidance and ability to open doors. A true powerhouse of the industry and you have left an indelible mark on the industry through your incredible success. A loving father and husband and you cared so deeply for Sally and your beautiful daughter Loren. We will never forget you and we will do our best to honour you in the weeks, months and years to come. Nick Kouvaritakis

Richard Waddington Showing some artistic skills making Easter eggs... as always with full energy and a huge smile!

Varun Gujral Gordon was great friend, mentor, colleague and above all one of finest human being. The most inspiring person who taught how to live the life positively. Would always cherish memories with him, it’s a big loss. May god give strength to his family. Our prayers are with them.

Emily Spears The world feels smaller knowing your larger that life self isn't here to fill it with your energy, passion and laughter any more. I have so much to thank you for; will find a way to pay it forward for you. Can not believe there wont be one last beer, percy pig, soccer ball in the office, game of twister or laugh to be had. Sally and Lauren my deepest condolences.

linda pearson GORDON: So many kind words have been spoken about him.We knew he was a high flyer and that he touched so many lives around the world and in his business life for which he was so highly thought of BUT to us he was just our fun loving Son-in-Law When we think back to the first time he came to dinner he helped himself to almost the whole dish of roasties and we knew from that moment on, we had to be quick off the mark to beat Gordon,whether it was roast potatoes,cadburys chocolate or Percy Pigs. He always had a competitive spirit even when we were playing games such as-Bendy Dominoes, Connect4,or Sleepings Queens(Laurens favourite card game)-. Learning from the master,Lauren is just as competitive and always wanted to beat her Daddy. We know he will be so sadly missed by his family,friends and colleagues,BUT for Sally and Lauren it will leave a hole that can never be filled. REST IN PEACE GORDON and we hope they are all ready making chocolate for you!!! Deepest Love and Affection Linda Bob Robert Sallys Mum Dad and Brother Laurens Nanni and Grandad

Neil Forrest Gordo, Have just been reading the other entries on here and they are a fitting tribute. You were a legend on and off the football field and it is an honour to be able to call you a team mate. I’m sure your joy and enthusiasm on the pitch was reflected in all aspects of your life. I hope that in years to come, your family can read these tributes and feel some comfort and pride in the happiness you brought and the positive impact you had on so many lives. Rest in Peace mate. Neil

Tanya Jones I have known Gordon for many years through BP, working very closely with him while he was on the Crude side of things. There was never a time that something was too much and if I wanted to understand more and ask that silly question for Gordon it was never silly and he always took that extra bit of time. We were unable to attend your wedding to Sally as Jonesy and I were on our own honeymoon ! Later when Jonesy wanted to move in to LNG, Gordon took Jonesy in to a room and talked to him non stop and gave him 101 of LNG.. which must have done the trick as Jonesy ended up in the LNG team ! Whenever we were passing through or staying in Singapore, Gordon and Sally would always meet us and take us to the fanciest roof top bars or restaurants that would need a detailed step by step directions get there as they were always off the beaten track, and one dodgy one where the food was great but I refused to use the bathrooms. Gordon and Sally were even kind enough to invite us over to bbq's where the whole night we would just be taking the mickey out of Gordon and Lauren showed us her best dance moves. Jonesy and I are both so shocked and saddened to hear this news. You will be missed by many Gordon because you took time to get to know so many. Much love to Sally and Lauren, Tanya and Jonesy xx

Leash and Remon We are so incredibly sorry to hear the tragic news about Gordon. Words can’t express the sadness we are feeling for you and Lauren. I just can’t imagine what you are going through. Please know that we are thinking of you and hope that the love and support of your family and friends helps to ease the pain. We are here for you and sending so much love. I have this beautiful memory in my mind of you and Gordon. Remember when we were flying out to Cambodia and you passed each other at Changi but were only able to communicate either side of the glass. I watched you two chatting away and I saw so much love. It was a beautiful moment that has really stuck with me. Big hugs my friend 💕

Nicola Graham Dear Gordon Its been an honour to call you a dear friend over the years, you have brought a huge smile, kindness and massive amounts of fun with you to any situation. Our holiday in Bali was filled with special memories for everyone. From the huge waves crashing over the villa, inflatable swimming pool races, which of course Mr Competitive won, and dance shows by the kids. We have laughed so hard our cheeks ached and luckily there was always something refreshing in a coconut on hand and secret stashes of jelly sweets to keep us all going. We have had some awesome nights out, dance ‘til you drop and party bus home, sore heads in the morning and loads of family fun times together. You have always had a talent to seem super relaxed no matter how much is going on, balancing work portfolios, investments, building teams around you and loving Sally and Lauren immensely. Thank you for being a part of our lives and creating so many memories along the way. We will all miss you. Nicci, Neill, Joshua and Cassidy

Sally NICHOLAS The last memory I have of Gordon was standing with Sally on the steps of UWC on his way to see the G3 Arts Festival. He was grinning from ear to ear and could hardly stand still, the anticipation of seeing Lauren's performance causing him to dance from one foot to the other, he was so excited. Your daddy was so proud of you Lauren. Each time he came to school to share in your learning, he would listen attentively - curious and inspired, eager to find out more. He would ask questions, wanting to know everything about you, his beloved daughter. I remember you also being so excited about his return from trips away, you always missed him when he was gone and eagerly awaited his return. Your mum and dad were a great team - supporting each other, listening, questioning, laughing, having fun and loving each other. I am devastated by the news of Gordon's passing. May he rest in peace.

Cat Monkhouse Gordon, I remember meeting you first before Sally and Lauren arrived in Singapore and being recruited to be part of Sally's unofficial welcoming committee. It was a pleasure getting to know you, Sally and Lauren and we always loved spending time with you all. Gordon you were one of the most welcoming, friendly and genuine guys. You made everyone feel at ease and always had a smile on your face. You were a natural and amazing dad to Lauren and your bond was lovely to see. We haven't seen you for a good few years now but hoped to catch up one day now that we are back in Scotland. It doesn't feel real that we now won't be able to do that. We will never forget you and you are sorely missed. Sally and Lauren, sending so much love to you both. You are very much in our thoughts. Catriona and Justin Monkhouse xx

Bruce Blakeman Every year we put on an American Thanksgiving meal no matter where we are in the world.We do the traditional turkey and all the side dishes my grandmothers would make for us. Gordon told us that he had never been invite to an American Thanksgiving dinner, so that year, we held a big meal with our American neighbors. I don’t know who was more excited, me or Gordon. He was interested in the menu, traditions & especially carving the turkeys. We had 4 birds that year so Gordon was keen on carving one of the birds. I gave him a tutorial & he watched me earnestly. Then he dove into his turkey with intense concentration. The looks on his face while carving his bird were hilarious and he always had a big smile. But he worked his through his bird & did a pretty good job. I share this story because I think it exemplifies one the best things about Gordon. He was always interested in new things & willing to try anything. He will be missed.

Phoebe Cartwright Gordon, You and Sally were the first couple my family met when we moved to Singapore, you both made us feel so incredibly welcome and instantly at home. It was then when you recommended the famous Singapore Chilli Crab which has been a go to ever since! Every Sunday I'd wake up smiling knowing the Sentosa gang would be meeting up at Coastes and you were such a central part of making it so special. When I was applying for internships and writing personal statements, you truly could not have been more helpful. Despite having a busy schedule, you gave me time, you gave me great advice and couldn't have supported me more. You have a beautiful family and they will without a doubt make you so proud. I am glad to have met you. Rest well Gordon. Phoebe x

Neil Mitchell Gordon, I'm still in shock at the news, and this small box of text will never suffice for all the fun times, happy memories and adventures we had together. Our paths crossed when we worked together at BP some 20 years ago. But we really got to know one another when we went backpacking around the globe. Months in the planning, you made the flight to (first stop) Singapore by the skin of your teeth :-). In fact, boarding had finished and the cabin doors were closing, when in bounded the mop of blonde hair down the aisle. Who'd have thought some ten years later, Singapore would be your home, with your lovely family, a big mover & shaker in the world of LNG - such a successful career, and mentor to so many. We then went onto NZ for the Americas Cup, and the millennium, with so many memories I'll always cherish - sky diving, hiking, bungee jumping, mountain biking, white water rafting. We both had work visas for NZ and diligently went on our way securing typical backpacker jobs in restaurants/bars on our arrival. We both got jobs the same day, so went for a celebratory beer that evening. Then another. And another. And so on. Then we realized the strange light in the sky wasn't a fireworks display, but the sun. Rising. And we both had ~ one hour to somehow make it into work for our first day on the job! We were just embarking on our adult lives back then, and I'm so proud that all your ambitions came true - family, travel, successful career, teaching/mentoring others, education, keeping physically active, having exciting & inspiring hobbies, having fun times & great memories. I'm devastated at your passing and so is everyone else on this memory page. We'll be sure to keep your legacy going and to look out for Sally & Lauren. Miss you mate. A lot. Neil

Robin McAlpine Gordon - where do I start? We first met at a Burns Supper where Rach invited you and Sal along. She had met this nice Scottish chap at work and thought we'd have fun. Such a shame (we both said later) that we didn't cross paths again for a few years. At the tail end of our first stint with BP you (ever the host) invited us for a World Cup party - England were playing. Much to the annoyance of Rach and Sal you were sporting a Paraguay top and I procured a Trinidad flag. Most of all though I was transfixed by your incredible climbing and electrical engineering skills to rig up a new coaxial cable from the roof to get the TV going at the back of the garden. Never fazed by a challenge. Others have said it here - you had an incredible ability to make friends. I invited you along one evening to play poker with some mates and you quickly became one of the gang! Over the years - we travelled and roomed together on trips to Lithuania (watching Scotland uncharacteristically win!), Ukraine and Vegas. It was always a blast. You looked after me on many occasions. On Culso's stag-do in Liverpool I was sent to bed early after one too many - you got me home. And then back out again! It was way too early for bed so after a few glasses of water (for me) we hit the town again. Never give up :) After you moved to Singapore we caught up less frequently but you were always willing to fit in a catch-up - however brief. Although you did stand me up once. Calling very last minute from your hotel - you'd picked up the wrong bag from the airport and now had to spend our drinking time tracking down the person who had yours! A whirl of energy, optimism and (sometimes) mild chaos. Classic Gordon. We last saw each other just over a year ago. A few beers at my local on a Sunday - just relaxing, watching sport and chewing the fat. Miss you buddy xxx Robin, Rachel, Amy & Zoe xxxx

Jane Short Having met you when we started on the MBA back in 2001, my absolute best memories of you will be the fun times on the subsequent Alumni Weekends at Firbush Outdoor Centre on the shores of Loch Tay. What a fantastic place it was (just look at the view we had at breakfast!). Days involved lots of watersports, cycling (round Loch Tay on occasion), and walking. And the games and chat long into the night were simply the best. I'm now married with two fab children, with much less free time, but I look back on those weekends with great fondness. I think I went a total of 13 times, and I'm pretty sure you were there on most of those occasions! Plus, we were joined by Alan too on lots of those times too. Sending lots of love and strength to those you leave behind.

Simon McCoy Sally & Lauren, We are so sorry to hear such devasting news. I hope this page will offer some comfort. So with that in mind.. Just a little note to accompany the photos attached, which I hope will need few words to illustrate Gordon's attitude to life & people. As a rule I find one Scottish Gordon is more than enough when going away for any sort of boys weekend, let alone a cycling one. But in April 2010 we were fortunate to have Gordon among our numbers when we hit the cobbled climbs of Flanders. Gordon Yuill has summed it up on this page better than I can. But to add to what he has said. Gordon turned up and not only jumped in with a group, whose dynamic he might not have been familiar with, he went-about winning new friends and simultaneously left those new friends for dust. All with a smile. Rest in Peace Gordon With love, Simon McCoy, Eli & Cecilia.

Vikram B Gordon, 1. I remember feeling annoyed when you joined our tour group going to THAT wedding in Rajasthan in the last minute. I had to change all the bookings to accommodate the extra person. By the end, I was so glad that you had joined us and you made our crazy road trip so much fun! Especially when you freaked out every time the stupid van driver drove us into a ditch or straight at oncoming traffic. 2. I remember having a terrible migraine as you surprised me with a plan to assemble a 'dream team' and asked me to join. All I wanted was some time-off and you said "Breaks are over-rated. Trust me, I have done it." Even though all I wanted to do then was go home and lie down, I am so glad that I said yes. 3. When I (completely sober) looked in the wrong direction while crossing the street in Barcelona, you (quite drunk) pulled me back on the kerb as a bus whooshed past where I would have been. And then yelled "Fool, I can't afford to lose you!" Five awkward seconds later, you laughed loudly and added "Not yet!". We kept laughing all the way back. Thank you for not losing me! 4. When you suggested Nerissa and I to get dinner with Sally and you at Neon Pigeon, I will always regret saying "Not that damn place again". COVID hit and I never got around to coming up with an alternative. Should have just gone to Neon Pigeon! 5. I will continue wearing those open-toed sandals, that you so hated, to work every now and then, and keep looking over my shoulder to see if you are going to come and threaten to pay me more so I can afford a good pair of shoes. Vikram

Barb Legan-Turner Dear Sally,Lauren, and family, We watched the beautiful tribute to Gordon today and were so touched by the beautiful words and memories that were shared about the very loved person that he was. We toasted Gordon tonight with a bit of bubbly in Edinburgh crystal on our 4th of July. May you and Lauren find peace in all of the love shown today. Take each day one at a time. Sending our love and thoughts from Cleveland, Ohio. Gordon’s light will forever shine on! xo

Guillaume Servajean Dear Sally & Lauren, If I had to keep just one thought from the past couple of years spent working with Gordon, I think it would be the crazy idea that the boss I have so much respect and admiration for is the man in the orange ninja turtles suit in the picture above. Gordon, thank you for being a mentor, an exemplary leader and a constant reminder to keep things simple, fun, intense and bring passion to everything in life. Guillaume

Fermin Carballo Dear Sally and Lauren, We were terribly shocked and saddened to hear of Gordon's passing. We cannot possibly know the pain and loss you must be feeling at this difficult time. As others have said we hope all the kind words and stories will be of some comfort to you both. Gordon was one of life's good guys and has clearly left a mark on some many people's lives. We never worked together but it was clear that his drive, enthusiasm and personality would take him to the top in whatever he put his mind to. When he told us he was moving to Singapore we spent a lovely afternoon together down in Kingston after we decided to purchase his Vw Golf from him. We shared many laughs and beers together in Kiev, Magaluf and Vegas for my stag. He was always on hand with an open and honest view on life. Stacey always jests that he was only Scotsman she knew that would admit to wearing a pair of Calvins under his kilt...it was also proven at one of our friend's weddings. Gone too soon, Rest in Peace. Fermin, Stacey, Leo and Ava xx

Amanda Beeching From the moment your sassy, sleep-deprived wife stormed into our mothers group at the Berth Function Room (fashionably late of course) and plonked her 1 year old fun-loving, adventurous daughter next to mine, I knew instantly we would be friends. Our families have developed the strongest of bonds this past decade and you’re family to us. So many good memories, so many laughs from cocktail parties, fancy dresses and party buses to Sunday morning bike rides down the beach for coffee and croissants at Coastes. You may be gone our dear friend but never forgotten and your legend will live on. We will make sure of it. Your girls are in safe hands don’t you worry, we’ll take good care of them. There is an army of family, friends and community wrapping their arms around them. Sending all our love, light, hope and peace to all his loved ones Amanda, Lexi and Keira

Li Cai Gordon, RIP. You will always be in the memories of our fun time together in Singapore. We are grateful to have you, Sally and Lauren as guests in our Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving dinner gatherings. Your friendship, generosity and kindness will be dearly missed. With love, Cai Li

Sid Bambawale Gordon and I both started at BP and both later also moved from London to Singapore; initially we met more on opposite sides of the table as competitors in rival LNG trading desks in Singapore. He was a worthy competitor, smart, supremely confident, fast thinker, very articulate and a tough negotiator. One afternoon after a long drawn out and heated negotiation on an LNG cargo, we parked the discussions and just as I was heading home, my phone rang, it was Gordon, “hey I am near lau pasat, just round from your office, how about a satay and a quick beer.” That was classic Gordon charm from a rare breed; that of a gentleman trader. Gordon had great energy and passion for LNG and I will always remember many spirited debates and even bets we all had at various industry get togethers. And to little Loren, while you know LNG is very cold at -160 deg C it was really your dad that brought the super cool touch to our LNG business and we will miss him and remember him fondly. God bless you.

Pamela Brown Gordon, I can’t believe we’ve just sat as a family and watched your final journey. I don’t think anything I can say will express our immense shock, grief and devastation at your tragic passing. You were an incredible person with the biggest smile and an even bigger heart and always had time for everyone but I’m truly grateful for the friendship you had with David. You invested in life but you invested so much more in your friendships, especially to him, Cheryl, the boys and our family. Sally and Lauren, you will always have a place in our heart and family here in Scotland and we will be sure to keep the memories and stories alive for you Lauren. We will always cherish the fantastic memories we shared just this year at Pittenweem, the place that we hold in our hearts and where we all, especially you, can truly switch off, unwind and have fun. Who would’ve thought while we were drinking champagne on the beach, taking in the Bells for NewYear, all 25 of us, new friends and old, what 2020 would have brought us, certainly not the year we envisaged. Gordon, Hannah and I were so excited to visit you all in Singapore, where we should’ve been this week and to see the place where you lived as a family but sadly it wasn’t to be. One day, one day we will make that trip. Sally and Lauren, you are so brave and he would be so proud of you both. RIP Gordon, taken far too soon but you lived your best life! All our love Pamela, Gordon and Hannah xxx

Lynn & David Cartwright Gordon, A great colleague, who became a best friend. You were a lightbulb in our lives, always jolly & positive, and great to be around. We can’t believe what’s happened and are going to miss you so much. We will be there for Sally & Lauren always. Take care champion, David & Lynn

Peter Coulson Gordy, We are heart broken that you are no longer with us. You have been such a constant in our lives here at Sentosa over the past 8 years. We feel lost in the knowledge you wont be popping over with Sally and Lauren for a quick drink, exchange of baked cookies or simply catch up on the recent trips you have done or the adventures you have had that day with Lauren. You bought such light into our lives every time we saw you and it is our loss than we mourn for. You taught us to live in the moment, give everything of yourself in any situation, and have the staying power to outlast any hill climb, football pitch opposition or party goer who felt they had an all nighter in them. You are loved and will be hugely missed, but we celebrate the experience of knowing you and your spirit lives on in all of us as we live our lives a little more positively in the image of you. Rest well our great friend, we will embrace Sally & Lauren for the rest of their lives and know you will be looking down upon us with a "super cool" or "awesome" being spoken. Lots of Love Peter, Lisa, Paris & Gigi Coulson xxxx

Drew & Manon Blaxland I am sure that many people have commented on the infectious and cheeky smile that was the face of Gordon. Rightly so, but it was not that which I immediately remember him for. It was his ability to connect, to genuinely be interested in what you did, who you were and what made you tick. Despite knowing next to nothing about the game of rugby, Gordon was my only non-rugby playing friend who turned up in Phuket Thailand to join my 50th birthday celebrations with 30 lunatic rugby players. He gelled immediately, and was quickly nicknamed Flash; a great mark of respect from the rugby fraternity to be given a touring handle so quickly. I was boyishly proud of him. I would not have known him without Manon’s great affection for and continuing friendship with Sally, and the strong connection between Lauren and our children which has continued even though the distance, and although Gordon and I didn’t keep in regular contact, like most blokes, when we did connect no time had passed, no enthusiasm was lost. I was only thinking of him a few weeks back, how I wanted to give him a call soon. Soon wasn’t soon enough as it turns out and I will always regret that. A doting father that truly loved and cherished his daughter, and one that also gave so much love to our children. We know that you will be looking down on Lauren and Sally every day (in between challenging one of the other angels up there to something that you can beat them at) and we promise to always be there for them. RIP dear friend. Love, The Blaxlands

Gregg Beeching Hey Laurie loo, I just found this and had to share with you , look how small you were - the apple of your dads eye :) xx

Nathan Marburg Gordon It was a real pleasure mate and we have many fond memories of our time together; Bali trip, Australia Open and the Great Ocean Road, PS4 battles, Party Bus pole dancing, boxing and breakfast, countless dinners... the list goes on. You had the Hollywood smile (literally) and could munch through packets of sweets and never seem to put on weight. You were wise beyond your years and it still makes us laugh to think about you being mistaken for Sally’s son - brilliant! We are so thankful that we got to spend time together recently. So many fond memories and taken way too soon. You have made a massive impact on the lives of people who knew you. Our thoughts are with Sal and Lauren; you went so suddenly and it is difficult to comprehend what they are going through. We are always here for Sal and Lauren and will do our best to help where we can. You will always be with us. Cheers mate, Nathan, Emma, Madi and Will

Jae Yong Heo Gordon, I remember first time I met you over coffee when you just joined Glencore as head of LNG. You looked like you were still in the middle of backpacking trips with your signature Boss polo shirt, sunglasses and a lot of hair. After speaking to you, I was sold to join you in LNG and ever since then I have no regret. As a boss, you were stern when you needed to but always fair and encouraging. As a friend, you shared joys and sorrows with me and always caring. There are so many good memories I cherish till now. Waking up at 5am for team bonding cycling event was painful but at the end turned out to be great bonding experience. Our late soju night in Korea and almost missing a flight back was nerve wrecking but worth it. It’s evident also from other posts you made big impacts on others and left lasting legacy. I will try my best to carry your legacy not only career-wise but also your legacy of good-heartedness and care for others. Wish I could say thank you to you one last time in person. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. You will be deeply missed. Best regards, Jae Heo

Julieta Timane Dear Sally and Lauren, we are sorry beyond words can express. We remember Gordon with joy and feel grateful and privileged to have shared many great memories with you three and our extended "The Coast Family". Gordon was a gentleman, always kind, attentive, fun and joyful. He will be dearly missed. Sally and Lauren we are here for you, always and forever. Julieta, Filipe and Frederica

Tom Waters Gordon Waters Our Son Lorna and I would like to thank you for all of your memories of Gordon. We have laughed and cried with you. The people who knew Gordon could picture him chasing after an opposition player until he got the ball back. Gordon’s football was of the Graham Souness/ Roy Keane school of football. A player you wanted on your side and not against you. The only time I saw him bend it like Beckham, he kicked the ball, the wind caught it and blew it back over his head and out the park. His team mates looked at him and said you kicked it you go and get it. Which he did! This admittedly was many many years ago. We would like to thank The Right Reverend Lorna Hood for all her help, her memories of Gordon and her reading. Pastor Rodney for conducting the service and for all his support. With special thanks to all of Sally Gordon and Lauren’s friends in Singapore who have supported Sally and Lauren , at this difficult time , and continue to do so . It brings us great comfort to know you are all there for them , and our own family Alan Eileen Roy and all the rest of our clan. Linda, Bob and Robert. Linda we hope gets to Singapore soon. David ,Cheryl and family All his friends at Engie Global and BP,Glencore and Babcocks Renfrew Where it all started with Gordon doing a school project about the company and becoming an Apprentice DJJackster for his music and his program in memory of Gordon great music and great patter Just to see an English man with the Scottish flag wrapped around him Brilliant We could go on and on with our thanks... Gordon Waters Our Son Lauren’s Dad Sally’s Husband Stay safe May your God go with you

Angela, Francesco, Sofia & Nicholas Mancini We have many wonderful memories of Gordon through the years but one of my favorite ones is the night we realized we were seated together at the annual Norwegian Seafood dinner. His bright wit charmed the table all evening! He will be greatly missed, both personally and professionally. Sally and Lauren, we send our sincerest condolences to you and are always here for you. Much love, Angela, Francesco, Sofia and Nicholas Mancini
