Clarence E. Gordon of Loudon, NH, died on August 2, 2021, from complications of renal failure, just three days after his 89th birthday. After 12 days in home hospice care, he passed away peacefully, having enjoyed visits from countless family members, friends, and business associates. Clarence was born in Plymouth, NH on July 30, 1932 to Ray and Emily Gordon.
He was predeceased by his wife Janie, his high school sweetheart with whom he shared a 69 year marriage, characterized by love and devotion. Clarence was also predeceased by two of his children, his only son Clarence Eugene "Gene" Gordon and his daughter Pamela Gordon Carr. He is survived by three daughters, Emily Jane Gordon of Loudon, Jessie Gordon Wentworth and her husband Robert of Dalton, and Kathleen Gordon Donnelly and her husband Robert of Concord. He also leaves 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Clarence had a long, impressive career in the road construction industry, including the establishment in the 1960's of his own business, Crushing Incorporated, located in Littleton, NH. He also worked for Pike Industries, Midway Excavators, and most recently Continental Paving where he was an Estimator. He combined incredible knowledge and expertise with a work ethic beyond reproach. He was devoted to his family and friends in the same way that he was devoted to his career, always ready to help and always doing what needed to be done. This is best exemplified by his devotion to his wife Janie during her long battle with Alzheimer's, being her major caregiver for several years. He enjoyed nothing more than gathering with family and friends, entertaining everyone with jokes and great stories.
