Gordon Carl Wilson

"And on the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker." So God made a farmer." And a well-known and respected dairy farmer he was… Gordon Carl Wilson, 68, of West Warren, Pennsylvania passed away on Friday morning, July 10, 2020 at the Robert Packer Hospital, Sayre, Pa. Throughout life, Gordon traveled many area roads and formed great friendships along the way, although his journey took him through the mountains and valleys he always had the philosophy that "all roads lead to home" Gordon was born on July 12, 1951 in Sayre, Pa a son of the late Carl E. and Ontalee (Barnes) Wilson. He was a graduate of Northeast Bradford High School class of 1969. Following graduation, Gordon shared the responsibilities of working on the family farm in West Warren. After chores on a summer night, Gordon was matched up to go on a blind date with Mable Smith ~ little did he know this would be the start to nearly forty-seven years of memories. On November 24, 1973, he married Mable and together they welcomed Greg and Robin into their family. Farm life continued to keep Gordon busy, although he also found time to drive school bus for Northeast Bradford and worked for Rome Township.
