Not sure what to say?

Gordy was my salesman at Ehinger Shoes and again at VanHoecks. I believe I was one of his first customers at Ehingers, as Mr. Ehinger was keeping a close eye on him and assisting him with fittings and suggestions. He always knew me by name. I will miss him. My condolences to his family.

My husband Robert Boschelli worked with Gordon for many years at Ehinger Shoes in Grand Rapids. We cherished his friendship, and marvelous talents. He was so artistic.

He was always "dressed for success"-very stylish. I know he is keeping everyone in style in heaven! My condolences to his family.

Though he wasn't very good at directions as one time driving back from a buying trip in Chicago we ended up in Kalamazoo rather than Grand Rapids. We had to ask for directions to Grand...
