Bev, Nicole and Family, It is a bit unbelievable, losing Gordy. He was so full of energy, loved helping others and so enjoyed skiing and Ski Patrol. I met Gordy when I went through the senior ski program and then had the opportunity to work with him, when he joined Hunt Hollow. He was always working to make things better, no matter what he took on. Unfortunately I will be unable to be at his celebration of life, but know you will all be in my prayers during this difficult time and when I think of Gordy skiing down the very side of a slope, I will smile. Peace. John Topping

Gordy making us origami cranes as we IPs (injured patients) wait to get moulaged for the Ski Patrol candidates' test. A gem of a man.
