Eamonn Joseph Gordon

April 3, 1952 – January 7, 2007

Eamonn Gordon touched the lives of so many in Harford County in his 30 plus years as an attorney and friend. He was known for the pro bono work he would accept in order to help people that needed proper representation but could not afford it. In that light, and to honor his legacy, we founded the Eamonn J. Gordon Scholarship Fund shortly after Eamonn’s untimely death..

The Fund offers scholarships to students enrolled in the Harford Community College Paralegal program in which Eamonn was an instructor. The idea is to not only give these scholarships based on merit, but need as well. Eamonn worked hard to get through law school and had nothing handed to him. We want to help students with similar situations. Board members will coordinate the selection process from the applications received by HCC. To date, the Fund has raised over $60,000 and has transferred $50,000 to Harford Community College Foundation, which invests the money for the Fund, and has awarded one scholarship. In early 2010, the Scholarship Fund balance stood at $55,000.

The Eamonn J. Gordon Scholarship Fund sponsors two fund-raising events each year. A St. Patrick’s Day event is held on or about St. Patrick’s Day, March 17. The Fourth Annual Golf Outing will be held in early October. Check back soon for details about both events.

The Trustees and officers of the Eamonn J. Gordon Scholarship Fund for 2010 are Joseph F. Snee, Jr., President, Richard G. Herbig, Vice President; Frank Hajek, Treasurer; Michael E. Leaf, Secretary; Ken Baroch; Dennis Cox; Brent Kluge; Sharon Pupa; and Dave Stover.

We sincerely appreciate all of those who have volunteered their time and donated money to make the fund a lasting tribute to Eamonn.
