Funeral Director
Gordon is an ex-volunteer firefighter and a decorated police officer, of more than 36 years, before retiring. He was also a trained, and awarded, volunteer Peer Support Officer working with frontline officers, so has a great affinity and understanding of the unique life in an Emergency Services family in particular. It’s in these roles he developed great empathy and grief strategies which have translated very well to his Integrity Funerals role, skills acknowledged by many families he’s arranged funerals for. As an advocate for mental health wellbeing, he is also a trained and serving volunteer with the not-for-profit Mentoring Men Organisation. He always considers it a great honour and responsibility to be entrusted by family to care for a loved one upon their passing.
A keen handyman, Gordon can often be found around the Integrity office, or home, repairing something to keep it operational. A great sense of humour, honed over many years in emergency services and family gatherings, make him one of our easy-going, good-natured team members.
When not at work he’ll frequently be assisting his wife, (usually tasting), in her cake decorating business, looking for his next travel opportunity, or spending time with the five grandchildren and families.
