In Memoriam
Robert Gordon
With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Robert “Bob” Gordon, on August 10, 2024.
Bob was a calming, humorous, and supportive member of the IBC team, always the voice of reason, a fabulous gentleman and caring individual.
He will be truly missed by all.
