RIP Mayor Gordon Mowrer


As June came to an end, former Bethlehem Mayor Gordon Mowrer joined former Mayors John Callahan, Ken Smith, Don Cunningham and incumbent Bob Donchez to celebrate Bethlehem's 275th birthday. The Moravian pastor is now a Moravian star, after finally losing a long battle with Parkinson's disease.

Donchez: "Gordy was a friend who served Bethlehem with distinction and integrity. His love for his family, his God and his city were unmatched. Bethlehem is a better city because of the contributions of Gordon Mowrer. My sympathies to Mary and the entire Mowrer family."

Lynn Collins Cunningham: "I am so very sad to hear of the passing of former Mayor Gordon Mowrer.
Knowing how sick he was, I was so pleased when he was able to be a part of the Opening Ceremonies of Bethlehem's 275th Anniversary Community Celebration three weeks ago. He joined the other four living elected mayors, on the stage, where they all were acknowledged for their contributions to this city.

"A true gentleman and kind soul. He was a positive man whose mark was left on this city. Rest in peace, mayor, you deserve it."

    Gordy stood tall for what is special about Bethlehem. We have him to thank for Main Street tourism & for trying his best to preclude casino from invading our town. Thanks Gordy & God Bless you.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
