Gordon was born May 28, 1940 to the late William and Marion Wolf in Youngstown, Ohio.
Gordon and Frances met and married in 1960 in Ft. Worth, Texas. Frances was the love of his life. Together they started a furniture business in 1966 on Belknap Street in Haltom City which became Gordon’s legacy for the next 54 years. He made his mark in Haltom City opening up various furniture stores up and down Belknap and became an integral part of that business community. Belknap Street is where he started and ultimately, where he ended. Gordon mentored many a sales rep in the furniture industry. This is how he earned his nickname, “the Godfather of the furniture business” among them. Every employee that worked for him will tell you that they learned valuable life lessons while on the job. Gordon was always quick to give advice on “what you need to do”. He was a generous man, not only dedicated to providing for his family, but also providing for any family that he knew needed help. There were countless times that he would offer a handout to people who walked into his store. His blessings were always shared with others. Gordon will be remembered for his quick wit and dry sense of humor. As his battle with dementia progressed, one thing that never left him was his sense of humor. He will be dearly missed. Thank you for touching so many lives in so many ways. God is getting himself quite a deal with you.

I am so truly sorry to hear of Gordon’s passing. As we travel through this life and meet many people we rarely meet anyone of Gordon’s quality. I ALWAYS enjoyed just to be able to visit with him. He knew just the right words to say and how to treat his fellow man. He enjoyed his business and he truly enjoyed people. He will be greatly missed !! May our God bless you in this time and always.

My condolences go out to your family. Gordon was the most honest, honorable man I ever knew. He helped me and my family in many ways, even after I no longer worked for him. I will be forever grateful for his help and guidance for my late brother. The world has truly lost a kind soul.

Keith and I have many great memories of Gordon. When we moved back from Florida he’d get happy every time we walked in because he knew I was buying! He told great stories and was always interested in what was happening on our lives. We will treasure his friendship for many years to come.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs Wolf, their daughters, son in laws and entire family.

Gordon was really an interesting and kind person. I met him when my son started working for him and his wife. He always had a story to tell which was entertaining. May his family remember the good times they spent with him. He was quite a businessman and will be remembered by many people. My thoughts and prayers for the family.
Lisa Stewart
Well I only knew Gordon for about 4 years, he taught me so much about industriousness and how to run a business. I am married to one of his long time employees and I know how much my husband looked up to Gordon as a father that he never had. We love you Gordon rest in peace until we see you again!
