Gordon and Elaine moved to Georgia in May 1972, settling in DeKalb County at first.  Gordon spent many years in residential construction as owner of Flash Framing Construction during his younger years.  Spent many years expanding his knowledge of construction and investing in rental property always eager to expand.  In his spare time, he would spend hours on the computer tracking his investments and stocks, looking for the best buy.  He was also a member of the Canadian Legion and Sons of the American Legion.
