Eustace was very savvy with computers as he also received training in computer development.  In addition to the love and enjoyment he had for his family and friends, Eustace was an amazing chef.  He loved cooking everything from gumbo to paella to pumpkin pie, and (with a smile) loved sharing with everyone.  Eustace musical talent included playing the guitar.  He loved dancing and listening to soca and reggae music which made him smile (his favorite reggae artist was Gregory Issacs).  Eustace also enjoyed fishing, building computers and watching American football, soccer and basketball on TV.

Eustace came from a large and loving family.  He was one of six siblings with one brother - Robert Gordon (Zoila); and four sisters - Maria Gordon (deceased), Lucila Gordon, Suzanna Gordon, and Joselina Lopez.
