years of experience, not
just in the profession, but
in managing an operation
of our size. I also wanted
to find someone who un-
derstood how to serve the
diverse communities in
the Bay Area and some-
one who has shown great
success in managing fu-
neral home/cemetery op-
erations. Bob Gordon, Jr’s
track record matched and
exceeded my expectations.
His personal motto is ‘En-
sure Others Succeed,’ and I
know the team will thrive
under his leadership.”
“I have known Ken Var-
ner for over 25 years,” Bob
Gordon, Jr. says. “He has
established a firm foun-
dation for the organiza-
tion for centuries to come,
and I am honored by the
board’s decision to make
me president of Cypress
Lawn. I know with the
help of the amazing team
Ken has built, and the help
of Bay Area residents, we
are going to continue to
propel this California trea-
sure into the future.”
Cypress Lawn chairman
of the board J.B. McIn-
tosh adds, “Ken Varner
has done a truly outstand-
ing job for the past two de-
cades. We appreciate his
foresight and his tireless
endeavors to improve Cy-
press Lawn. We are excited
Bob Gordon, Jr. has joined
us and know that Bob and
Ken will work together
closely to ensure the team
and the Bay Area families
served by Cypress Lawn
experience a smooth tran-
sition process.”
