When Rev. Roland Gordon died on April 13 after nearly half a century of leading the Ingleside Presbyterian Church, he left his congregation — and the larger neighborhood — bereft.

“He touched so many people in the community,” said Mike Allen, the church’s program director. “It’s incredible the impact he had.”
