Jan, So sorry to hear of your loss. Gordy was one of my sergeants when I worked at the WMU PD. He was a caring, professional member of the department and will be sadly missed

Jan, sorry to hear of your loss. He will be missed by his many friends, acquaintances, and especially you and the family. I will always remember him when I see a tutsy (sp?) roll which he always handed out when making his rounds in Parkview campus. Sorry we were not able to attend the memorial service for him as we had a service for a family member at the same time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. God be with you and yours.

The older workers of WMU remember Gordy as a very kind hearted man who always shared a smile and a kind story. I have missed and remembered him highly since his retirement. May he rest in peace and never forgotten. I think he is one of only a few I will never forget. May you and your family find peace and remember his great personality and love for all.

Jan,
May God hold you and your family close, with His love and comfort, during this difficult time. I remember meeting Gordy (and then you) in the 80's when I started as a dispatcher at WMU. I will always remember the candied pecans you made and he shared with me, the Tootsie Rolls he had in his pockets that he always shared with my children, and the kindness you both showed my family.

So sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed seeing Gordy when he'd come into Stitching Memories. I always got a big hug and a Tootsie Roll. My condolences to his family; he will certainly be missed.

Janet, So sorry to read of Gordon's passing. I enjoyed both his and your visits to Western. I have many fond memories of our hunting and fishing chats. Please accept my sincere condolence.

I remember Gordy when he worked for WMU PD. I was on the Sheriff's Dept and we worked security details together at events at WMU. Always enjoyed a good conversation with him. May he rest in peace in the Kingdom of Heaven and help St. Peter guard the pearly gates.
