We were so sad to hear of Don's passing. Our time with him over the last few years so sporadic we have greatly missed him and will cherish the times we had with him during our years at Kidder's. The world truly lost a wonderful soul this past week. Prayers for peace & healing to the Gordy family.

Sorry to hear of Don's passing, he was a huge part of my life when I was a young man. My first real job was working for Don doing cleanup work after "the flood". I went to the Quarter Horse Congress with Don and Linda in their motorhome. He will be missed and remembered.

So sorry to hear of Don’s passing. He played a huge role in my life when I was a young man. He gave me my first real job, cleaning up after “the flood”. I also showed horses with him and he and Linda took me to the Quarter Horse Congress. He will be missed and remembered.
