Gordon V. Naar, proud veteran

January 19, 2023

Gordon V. Naar, 94, of Millville, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023, at his home. He was born Dec. 7, 1928, in Amityville, N.Y., son of the late David and Bernardine Naar.

Gordon was a graduate of Massapequa High School and the Art Career School in New York City. A proud veteran, he honorably served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1946-49.  He enjoyed an illustrious career as a commercial artist for various advertising firms in New York City, and met his future wife while employed by ABC in Manhattan. Gordon had many interests and hobbies. His creativity showed through his talented woodcarvings and beautifully sculpted marble pieces, and his green thumb was evidenced by his meticulously maintained gardens. Gordon was also a faithful and active member of Community Lutheran Church in Frankford. Above all, he cherished time spent with those he held most dear. Gordon was a loving and devoted father, grandfather, and friend who will be genuinely missed by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, Gordon was preceded in death in 2016 by his beloved wife, Gloria Naar. He is survived by his children:  Karen Kahrs (Steve) of New York and David Naar (Ann) of Milton; and his grandchildren:  Alyssa Kahrs of New Jersey and Sarah Naar and Zachary Naar, both of Milton.

A chapel committal service with military honors will be held at 10 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 25, at Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, 26669 Patriots Way, Millsboro.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Parsell Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Atkins-Lodge Chapel, Lewes.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to Community Lutheran Church, 30897 Omar Road, Frankford, DE  19945.
