  1. I came across your e mail for the obituary for Gordon whilst typing in names of people who han influenced me in life . Gordon conducted my marriage service at Holbeach Hurn on 13th (yes- the 13th – not superstitious!) April 1963 to John Foskew.
    Gordon was not only our parish priest , he and Jean were good friends and guides to my parents, Arthur and Lilian Huskinson. My father had suffered ill health for many years. He and mother were poor by the material standards of those days and yet they were rich in spirit,hospitable and encouraged greatly by Gordon. He inspired them and encouraged them to keep right on. Father was his churchwarden ( for 37 years at St.Lukes-until he retired) and I believe Gordon was, in turn, encouraged by their faith and steadfastness to God and to the church.

    Jean and Gordon gave hospitality to John and to his Best Man on the eve of our wedding. Jean was often not in good health and Gordon administered not only church duties but domestic duties too.

    I am grateful to you for having published Gordon’s obituary notice. As we grow older we think back and remember, with gratitude, those who showed kindness, love and charity to ourselves and to others.

    1. Thank you for your message, Sally. It’s interesting to hear from people who knew Dad early in his life. We took him to Holbeach Hurn about seven years ago to revisit his old parish – a trip down memory lane. kindest regards, Sue
