Myron J. Gordon (1920-2010)

It is with great sadness that we are sharing the news that Myron Gordon, Professor Emeritus of Finance, passed away at the beginning of July.

Prof. Gordon had been a member of the Rotman community since 1970, and his many friends and admirers at the School remember him for his towering scholarly reputation, his gregarious personality, and his concern for the community.  Prof. Gordon will be missed, and his academic as well as community contributions will be an enduring testament to his life.

On July 14th the Gordon family placed this obituary - http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thestar/obituary.aspx?n=myron-j-gordon&pid=144068310
