My condolences to the family of Gordy. He was a loving and caring man to my mom Chris they were good for each other they laughed a lot. What I'll miss is all the joking around we would do especially when the Packers would play and we would win I would do my happy dance in front of him and he would think I was crazy. We would laugh about it though. I'll miss you Gordy rest in peace.

To the family of Gordy. My deepest condolences for your loss. I loved sharing stories of Florida with him. I only knew him for a short time. We met through my aunt Chris but he was a wonderful man and we will miss him.

A role model for me in my early years in the Detective Bureau. Hard working dedicated cop.
Rest in Peace Gordy.

Uncle Gordy will be dearly missed. Always an interesting conversationalist and source of gypsy stories, "but I could be wrong". The advisor I could go to when you can't go to mom and dad.
May the Lord shine on the family and friends as they deal with Gordy's passing.
