I am so sorry to hear that Gordy passed away. I wanted to come to the memorial but I was dealing with my Mother passing away on the 27th. God bless you Karen and all your family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Karen, Nina, and Paul,

To Karen and the Petersen family,

Gordy will always be remembered as one of the most respected members of our Marquette family. As I look back on those wonderful years, I see how influential Gordy was in my development as a person and employee. No matter what the situation, he was always calm, honest, and supportive. We will all miss him!

To Karen and the Petersen family and friends.

It is sad that Gordy is no longer with us. He was always the "smile guy" at Marquette. He will be missed in this world.

Condolences to all.
