I send my sympathy to the entire Ecker family. All of you have a special place in my heart, and I will never forget you. Mr. Ecker was the only one in your family that I never met. I'm sure he must have been a good father with lots of patience to raise such a big family. He was a lucky man to have such a wonderful wife to help him. May God comfort you and bring you peace.

Our prayers go out to one of the greatest families in this area. The Ecker family has been in our lives since I was a young girl. I know the sorrow you feel but also the relief that Gordon isn't suffering any longer. May peace be with each and everyone of you. You are a strong and closely knit family. Your love and strength will get you though this tough time. Love to all....Marge & Ron Skaggs and family.

Larry and I are sharing in your loss of Gordon. We had wonderful business trips together through the years. One of our trips we remember was a trip to California from Chicago in the early 70's. It was a good flight and when we got off the plane the look on Gordon's face when he saw the pilot was a woman was "priceless". It was like oh my gosh she got us here in one piece. I still smile when I think of that one trip. The other one was when we got to our hotel early somewhere (can't remember), and Esther went out to sit in the sun not realizing how windy it was and got burned to a crisp and missed the dinner that night and maybe even the next day that was not funny, but true also. Remember all of your wonderful times with your Dad as a family.

Rick, So very sorry to hear about your father's passing. It's always difficult to lose a parent, especially when you are so close. He sounds like a wonderful man, and loved by so many. You and your family are in my prayers.

To the family of Gordon,

I'm so very sorry to hear that Gordon has passed. I use to work at Whiteford Trailer when Gordon work at the Ford store on Western., he use to give me sales tips. Gordon and I stayed in the same room on one of our golf trips to Tenn, he helped me close a deal with a customer on that trip. He got the customer to bet me on a golf game, if I won he would have to purchase 4 flatbed trailers from me, Gordon played that round with me cheering me on all the way to a win. That was a fun day. I will always remember him, I was blessed to have known Gordon Ecker.

May God Bless his family,
