Dear Dale, Mary, Alexa and Michael, I will miss my favorite uncle so very much. But I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood on up. My earliest memory is a story I have told throughout my lifetime. I was about 3 years old when Gordon and Marilyn took me to an Ice Capades show in Philadelphia and we stopped at a restaurant for dinner before the show and it looked like someone's house to me. The waitress served a fruit cocktail dish as an appetizer and I was delighted that I could eat "dessert" first, but was afraid my parents would find out, since I always had to eat my dinner before I could eat the dessert. We have laughed about that story ever since. I have enjoyed many special family events with Gordon and many of my summer vacations to Stone Harbor where his friends have been added to my circle of friends over the years. I even visited the University of Tennessee in 2008 to see his name on the Athletic Wall Of Fame. I have been blessed to have him in my life and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. With much Love, Donna Beahm
