Myrna & Family,

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of my good friend Gordie. While I only knew Gordie through our membership at The Plantation GC and later when we played together at The Glen Club, he was a true gentleman, great friend and fun person to play golf and have a drink with following golf.

I will truly miss his humor and love of life!!

As a family, I can only imagine the loss you're all feeling. You need to know, however, how proud he was of you, Myrna, his children and grandchildren. He spoke glowingly of all of you every time I was with him. What a treat it had to be for all of you to have such a loving caring husband, father and grandfather!!

God bless my good friend!!
