Words can not express how sorry I am for the Simmons family, Gordie was definitely one of the best and would do anything for anyone! He always had a smile on his face with a story to tell, mostly about cutting wood! Just another example of another great man gone to soon! Rest in peace my friend.

Rest in peace Gordy. You were a great coworker who would help anyone. I can still remember all the times you brought apple fritters into work for the Officers in the block. Thanks for all your help over the years. I hope there is a lot of wood for you to cut in Heaven. May God bless your soul.

What a good , genuine man Gordie was. Had the privilege of working with him at ACF. 3-11, have a lot of good memories. He cut down a tree for my mom years ago, and argued with me about taking money. I am so glad I was able to spend some time with him during the recent strike. My thoughts, prayers and condolences to all his family.
