He was bom jn Lissie on April 24, 1926 to Charles and Ida Isenhower Causey. He was preceded in death by his parents; his younger sister, Jeanette Johnson; and his oldest daughter, Shireen. He grew up in Lissie and graduated in 1943 from Eagle Lake High School where, as a senior, he was salutatorian, class president and edi- tor-in-chief of the school newspaper, "The High School Eaglet". During his high school days, he was active in sports and lettered in track, basketball and football. As did most young men of that time, he answered the call to duty to his country and enrolled in the U.S. Navy V-12 program at the University of Texas. During this period, he was active in intramural sports and the American Institute of Electrical Engi- neering. After completing his military service and receiving a BS degree in electrical engineering, he chose a pro- fession in Geophysics that led not only to an exciting life of travel, but also to the delineation of many of the oil and gas deposits in the Gulf of Mexico and various overseas locations. He began his career on a survey boat with Roger Ray Geophysical Co. and progressed to management posi- tions with several subsequent compa- nies. During his career, he worked on five continents surveying many pro- spective oil-producing countries, starting in the Bahamas and ending in Colombia. Early in his career, on Christmas Day 1953 in Piura, Peru, he met the love of his life, Ruby Temple Semi- nario. On August 28, 1954, they were united in marriage in a civil ceremony. The following day, a religious ceremony was held at the Cathedral in Piura. This union was blessed with four children. Because of the travel required in his various jobs, his family experi- enced many different cultures and his children received international educa- tions. Causey retired in 1997 in Peru and, with Ruby, returned to her home in Piura where they first met and where he died July 8,2000. Funeral services and burial were held July 10. Survivors include his devoted wife, Ruby; son and daughter-in-law, Gordon Temple and Donya Causey, and their children, Crystal and Amanda Knudsen, of New Orleans, Louisiana; daughter and son-in-law, Penelope and Joe Kysiak, and son, Tyler, of Dallas; daughter and son-in- law, Magdalena and Kerry Rickelman and children, Shireen and Luke, of Long Beach, California; brother, Wesley Causey (Cmdr.

To celebrate the life of Gordon, a memorial service will be held at 12 noon August 5, 2000 at the Lissie United Methodist Church. The family requests memorial donations be made to the Lissie United Methodist Church or the charity of your choice. Sympathy is extended to the family in their loss.
