Joe Gordon former owner of Sly Fox Inn passed away from cancer 2 weeks ago. at age 64
May his soul be in heaven & rest in peace.
God bless the Gordon family during this sad holiday season
He was a top notch st.johns alumni & supporter
Joe Gordon & his partner Danny Collins made The sly fox a great place for many yrs for all Johnny fans to frequent.
 
I was so upset with this I did not want to post when it happened. A retired friend still works the bar on weekends but I have not been able to go back since.

yes its sad because Joes sly fox represented the glory yrs of my st.j's experience
Jpods & gantrys were more party college bars but the sly fox was a place for a dinner date or family dinner
They always had a great dj on weekends , it was the place to be during cold winters in 80s-90s
I had the pleasure of enjoying several new year eves at the fox
I worked for the mets from 1984-92 & brought Randy Myers,Dave Cone & Lenny Dykstra there alot.
Joe whelan still tends bar mon -thurs the last of that era
 
What a shame. Always liked Joe. Great with kids. I remember talking with him years ago when he was trying to get involved in recruiting the McCray brothers who ended up at Louisville, God Bless and RIP.
 
I didn't know Joe and the Sly Fox wasn't my normal hangout place (I was part of the Gantry's & JPod crew), but I certainly know how important Sly Fox is to our fan base. I will make it a regular spot for my son and me when we go to games at CA. I will pray for Joe.
 
Joe Gordon was a real good guy. He was a brother in the Phi Tau fraternity. I played basketball against him. He wasn't bad. He opened the Sly Fox with Danny Collins as his partner. Danny Collins is a frat brother of mine (Zeta Sigma Pi). Danny eventually sold his interest and opened his own place, F. Scotts, near the Douglaston railroad station. As an entertainer, I have performed in both the Sly Fox and F. Scotts. My best to you Joe...and my sympathies to his family.
 
very sorry to hear about Joe's death. I think he played baseball at SJU in the 60's . Got to know him in the early 70's when he opened a bar near Queens College ( Shenanigans ) which became a hangout for teachers from Bishop Reilly HS . visited the Sly Fox often and Joe was always a gracious host . I'll miss him .

Danny was the best partner Joe had at the fox & the place peaked under their mgt
Danny used to give me 2 of his 4 season seats behind the visiting bench in alumni hall often,
he would get a kick out of me trying to rattle the opposing teams coach. Obrien of BC was the easiest to piss off.
Rollie was the funniest to get on bec.he was always sweaty w shirt hanging out etc.
Fscotts in douglaston became Strawberrys which just closed in october after 2 yrs

Hey Doc what type of musician are you?
 
Thanks much Johnny. If you didn't see the performance video at the website, just check the media section by scrolling across the strings on the guitar, Be good!
 
i remember Joe helping out our Freshman Baseball team in 69 if I remember correctly he won a car during a TV game show around that time. He was a good guy. Rest in peace Joe!.
 
Joe was a great guy and an avid supporter of the Redmen. I always enjoyed hanging out wiht him after the Garden games. He will be missed.

Did he not also own a few bars in Manhattan and Brooklyn for a while?
