So sad to know that Gordy is gone. I saw his mother's obituary today only to read that he had predeceased her. When I was a teenager and he was too(many, many years ago)I thought he was an older brother. He spent so much time at our house - he was a very good friend of my real older brother, Jimmy Murphy. You couldn't help but smile when you would look out my mother's window and see Jimmy, Gordy, and Chuck walking their motorcycles down my mother's street so as not to disturb her neighbors. So many good memories from those days. My condolences to his family.
