Gordon my dear brother.... today you are in my thoughts as I awoke ... miss your teasing, miserable at times and funny gestures and jokes ... hope you and Dad are enjoying the heavenly life with the angels ... keep us in your sight. See you all eventually. Love ❤️ you my bro🙏🏻😇🤗

There are infinite moments that flit across our hearts and we cherish the love and forgive the frailties. I’ve been listening to so much of the music we loved and shared...and the memories of each story, occasion...here is one of the anthemic ones you loved “I believe”...smile

My Brother Gordon, My heart aches my friend. We surely had some great times playing tennis and touring together – stories for days, only you are no longer here for us to share ! ! It is very sad to see you depart. but I must believe that you are now in a much better place, no more pains, no more suffering ! Until we meet again my friend. Much love and respect . God bless !! Steve & Devi R.

I will forever cherish the great times we had Gordon, whether is was on or off the court. You always made me laugh. You have always been so supportive of my step dad and I in our table tennis career, but most of all you were a true friend to us. People like you are very rare these days but you got to fly away home.Your spirit will always be with me. So until we meet again my brother. love always

Like the song I left on. You have left your mark, your footprint. He stands tall. You left our precious Sebastian. Thank you. There is no more pain, go in peace. Remember to be generous with Mr. Mandela, when you get to the gates. Let him go first and you walk strong in your own space. Love Julienne

In memory of Gordon Delph, son, brother, uncle, friend, table tennis afficionado, Pelos hard-core and most importantly, father of our son Sebastian. You went on your journey in such memorable company...Madiba of the world and Mc Donald Bailey. Sebastian laughed when I acted out what I thought you might say and do bumping into Mandela. He agreed heartily and added that your first order of business after that would be to find Compton and head for the nearest 'heavenly’ watering-hole. This photo is one of many of you I took over almost 20 years. The memories of happier times will always be in our hearts and the best of you will live on in Sebastian. I hope no one makes the mistake of challenging you to a game of table-tennis as I did back in 1981 at Coblentz House. I didn’t know of your champion status at the time...what a laugh on me that was when you left me at 21 love!! I was there when you worked so hard on your table tennis comeback to qualify for the team coming in second place behind the late Wayne Estwick, edging out your buddy Seamus Clarke. There are many stories and those from the hard-core Pelican bull-shit corner crew like O.E. Williams, Raoul Pantin, Wilbert Holder and friends like Asad Mohammed and John Dasent and the legions of 'Pelos' limers over the years, will help us to remember and celebrate your innings. Yes, you did it all and then some. I will above all cherish the ability you had to make me laugh...it was your most endearing quality. Sunday mornings with music blasting (favorite memory of Carrie Gupte too) is one of those hard to top. And the parties we had that people still talk about! Its going to be a toss up to put together the discography to send you off....it was eclectic...Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Rod Stewart, U2 and the list goes on. Though life’s twists and turns led us in separate ways, you will be in our hearts always and with the greatest gift of all from you, our son Sebastian. May you rest peacefully eternally. Love, Jo

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Gordon Delph. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
