For the past 12 years, Gordon owned and operated Surveyor Corp. from the family’s La Lomita Ranch in
Edna Valley.

Surveyor Corp. is a high-tech company that deals with one of Gordon’s abiding loves: robotics and their
applications. Toward that end, his curiosity and gusto were directed toward taking humans past what we Notes:
know now. _________________

“It’s sometimes hard to pinpoint a man’s impact on his community,” said Tim Williams, owner of Digital
West of San Luis Obispo. “When considering Howard Gordon, it’s much more visible. His contribution to the _________________
technology world was global and, in many ways, he put San Luis Obispo on the map. His leadership drew the _________________
attention of giants in the tech industry, and he did so without limitations here in San Luis Obispo County.

“It wasn’t easy,” Williams added, “to be a major technology player from this somewhat remote region, but _________________
the very idea of doing more with less was part of the concept behind every technology application that
Gordon built.” _________________

“He had a reputation for creating and building companies and being able to sell them,” Kardel added. “But
at the heart of Howard Gordon, he was a good guy who cared about what really matters — not just the _________________
integrity of products but also his family and community.” _________________
