I believe that I was in the Air Force with Gordon Devries at Reese AFB in Lubbock Texas. He was my NCOIC in the computer center. He was a very kind and understanding. My name is David Brubaker and I left military duty in March 1977. I was a shift supervisor for Gordon at the computer center. I am sorry for your loss. I just found this obituary online. He was a great person and enjoyed working with him. May he Rest In Peace
