Kenneth Gordon and wife Jessica of the Scottish Episcopal Church, Aberdeen and Orkney Diocese.
The devoted Christian, who was active in ministry until earlier this year, saw his death not as an occasion for sadness, but as his ‘graduation to Heaven’.
Capital upbringing
Born in Edinburgh on December 27, 1935, Kenneth Gordon was the only child of Alfred and Alexanderina Gordon.
A stockbroker’s clerk from Corstorphine, his father died when Ken was just 15.
