WATERMAN, Gordon Winsor
Gordon Winsor Waterman, 86, formerly of Walnut Creek, CA died peacefully on
Sunday, (February 1, 2004) at Hartford Hospital. Gordon was born on December
15, 1917, in Warwick, RI, the only son of the late Ida Gordon and Edward
Lewis Waterman. He spent most of his youth in Bluefield, WV, and following
the death of his parents lived with his late Aunt and Uncle, Emma and Elmer
Austin in Providence, RI, where he attended Brown University. He served as a
Staff Sergeant in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Gordon had a long
career with Chevron Oil Company and traveled extensively throughout the USA
and Puerto Rico. He was married for 49 years to the love of his life, Hazel
Irene Cookson, who died in 1990. They had two beloved daughters, Susan and
Gail, both of whom died at an early age. Gordon never lost his great sense
of humor, and was a very polite and gentle person. He is survived by his
devoted cousin, Robert Austin Shaw and his wife Suzanne, of East Hartford,
and Englewood, FL, and their sons, Bruce Austin Shaw of Forest Hills, NY,
and Douglas Gordon Shaw of Charlotte, NC. Gordon was a member of the Walnut
Creek Presbyterian Church. We would like to thank his extended family at The
Atrium in Rocky Hill for all their love and caring support during his
lengthy residence there. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the
Alzheimer's Association, 96 Oak St., Hartford, CT 06106. A memorial service
to celebrate Gordon's life will be held in California at a later date at the
convenience of his family. Samsel & Carmon Funeral Home, South Windsor has
care of arrangements.
