My Uncle Gordy was a very special person in my life. I have good memories of his visits at our house when I was a kid, sitting at the kitchen table with mom and dad having coffee. Whenever my dad (Gordy's brother) got together there was usually an argument. I am sure they both enjoyed it. And Uncle Gordy knew how to get the argument going. Fun times going bowling on Sunday mornings with all of us kids too. I am glad that he is no longer suffering and is at peace. We will all be together someday, thanks to God's loving gift. Love, Cherie
