I am just learning of Gordon's passing from your post here -- what a beautiful and fitting tribute.

I only had very brief interactions with Gordon -- I was a guest once on Rune Soup, and we exchanged a few e-mails here and there. And I was struck both in those interactions and in my experience of his work by his generosity of mind and spirit.

Like you, my views on many things differed from his. And that never diminished my gratitude and respect for him.

Thank you for this.

Thank you for this lovely and important tribute. Gordon's generosity was one of his great gifts, as was his hospitality, and willingness to connect us all together.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I am shocked, and truly saddened. He was a wonderfully eloquent, intelligent, and kind voice. May all blessings be upon him and his family/friends.

A beautiful tribute. Gordon was certainly a door-opener for many, many people. His work was exciting and inspiring. I will miss his questing mind.

Thanks so much for sharing. I have been a intermittent but enchanted Rune Soup student for a long time and have been struggling to make sense of the news of Gordon’s death. It is nice to hear from another who has been moved by his life. ❤️‍🩹
