Always enjoyed chatting briefly with the brothers as they would proudly show their Lomira athletic passes.

I never met Gordon, but have seen him so many times over the years. He and his brother would always be seen at Lomira Basketball games. They were a fixture. It wasn't a game until they arrived. I am very sorry for the loss of Gordon.
