Per his wishes, Ken’s body was donated to the Anatomical Gift Program at Albany Medical College. A private memorial will be held for Mr. Gordon at a later date.

    We were very sorry to learn of Ken’s passing. Our son was on Ken’s team back in the early nineties. Ken was a great coach and nice guy. He was extremely knowledgeable about and loved baseball. Plus he was the only person we ever knew who was able to spoof Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Rest In Peace Ken.
