Reading notes
Things to be careful about
Manual transcription created from the user-supplied TIFF; local OCR was useful for orientation but not treated as authoritative.
The notice says Gordon died "Monday"; with the 11 April 1984 publication date, this supports 9 April 1984, matching the death certificate and 10 April obituary.
The death place is recorded only as "St. Luke's Hospital" in this clipping; the existing death certificate supplies Maumee, Lucas County, Ohio.
Gayle Iacofano is linked to Gayle Ponceby because existing repo evidence identifies Gayle Ponceby as Tony Iacofano's spouse and Gordon/Shirley's daughter.
Peter Cook is recorded as Gordon's brother here; this intersects the existing Catherine Margaret Ponceby / Peter Cook relationship question but is not enough by itself to create a canonical Peter Cook person record.

Research notes
This is a distinct image-backed newspaper clipping from the 10 April 1984 Blade obituary and the TLCPL obituary-index entry.
No citation block is included because the user-supplied TIFF did not include a printed repository citation page.
Accepted by the user on 4 June 2026 for Gordon F. Ponceby's death-notice, death-date support, residence, body-donation, funeral/no-service, and survivor-context facts only.
Keep Peter Cook relationship questions unresolved from this notice alone; do not update canonical person relationships from this approval alone.
