Gordon Alvin Amundson

Gordon Alvin Amundson, 92 passed away peacefully at Suite Living of Maple Grove on Tuesday August 12, 2025. Gordon was born on April 29, 1933, the oldest child of Alvin and Irene Amundson. He went to Stewart School near Epping, ND and graduated from Epping High School, ND in 1951. Despite being a polio survivor from the age of 13, Gordon served in the Army from 1954 - 1956 during the end of the Korean War. After the service Gordon returned home and used the GI bill to pursue his secondary education. Gordon and Chuckie (Charlene) met after both attended Interstate Business College, Fargo, ND and were married on November 8, 1958. They moved to the Twin Cities and purchased their first and only home in 1964 in New Hope, MN. Gordon worked in accounting for most of his life retiring from the United States Postal Service. Gordon really enjoyed spending time with friends and family, bowling, golfing, playing cards (cribbage), camping and socializing. He also enjoyed the 20 years spent in Arizona where he and Chuckie golfed, attended the dog races and enjoyed dinner and socializing with friends, avoiding the cold Minnesota winters and soaking in that warm Arizona sun. Gordon's grand children Conrad and Rein Amundson were enjoyed and loved so much by their grandfather. Gordon attended every event he could when they were growing up and enjoyed their visits as they grew into adults. He was very proud of them. Gordon loved to have a good laugh and enjoyed a good joke either telling or listening to one. He loved and took care of his family, always willing to help with anything, and generous as can be. We have many memories of fighting over the check at dinner, the servers always listened to Gordy. Gordon was preceded in death by his wife Charlene (Chuckie) Amundson, his parents Alvin and Irene Amundson, and his brother Donald Amundson. Gordon is survived by his sons Neal Amundson, Jon (Jennifer) Amundson, daughter Greta (Gary Gorden) Amundson, grandson Conrad Amundson, and granddaughter Rein Amundson. Sister Dorothy Westphal, Sharon Carnell, and brother Roger (Sandie) Amundson and numerous nieces, nephews and close friends. We will cherish our memories of Gordon and his love of life. Gordon will be cremated, and a service will be held Friday August 22, 2025, at Glen Haven Memorial Gardens 5125 West Broadway, in Crystal, MN at 10:00 AM with visitation starting one hour before service. Luncheon following to be determined.
