Gordon H. Baver
Founder
Gordon H. Baver was born on September 22nd, 1930 in Shimerville, PA and adopted by Dr. George G. Baver and wife, Dr. Faith (Hopkins) Baver. He was born into a large family of four brothers and two sisters: George, Henry, Harvey, Dale, Jane, and Jean.
He is a graduate of the Pennsburg High School and Pennington Prep School in Pennington, NJ. Post-high school grad, he attended and graduated from Elizabethtown College. His focuses were then temporarily diverted and he shipped out with the Navy.
While serving his country in the Korean War, Gordon made plans to enroll as a pre-dental student at the University of Pennsylvania. His discharge from the US Navy Submarine Service came in February of 1955. Needing work before his fall semester, Gordon found employment with a contractor – a move which changed the course of his life.
For the next few years, Gordon dropped his pre-dental program to take engineering courses at a Penn State campus while sporadically working for several construction firms. Feeling he’d found his nitch, Gordon took on a new challenge. He started his own construction business, Gordon H. Baver, Inc., on April 1, 1960.
The company did more than survive the lean, fledgling years. Gordon grew it into a thriving family business employing many family members, including his wife and sons. As years passed, Gordon laid a solid foundation, no pun intended, for a business that prided itself on service while keeping up with the latest in technology and equipment.
Through the years, Gordon maintained a very busy life outside of managing his business. He was a member of the local Jaycees and Rotary clubs. Following in his stepfather’s footsteps, he served on the board at Grand View Hospital for many years, some of which in the capacity as president. He was also a very active member of his church.
Most notably, Gordon, along with Lloyd Nester and Harold Blacker, launched what is now known as the Eastern PA chapter of ABC (Associated Builders and Contractors).
On January 1, 1996, Gordon’s two sons, Bruce and David, took over the organization. They have since maintained the business’s fine reputation for quality and service, seen it through economically difficult times and grown its success while retaining its family-owned atmosphere.
