It is with sadness that I discover the passing of Gordon. My mother (Mada Hall Bodily) and Gordon's father were siblings and of course, he and I were first cousins. I have fond memories of Gordon and Doris visiting mother at various times of the year including fruit season and then taking her out to lunch or dinner. After the passing of my father, Carl R. Bodily, in 1979, Gordon was a true blue supporter of mother and was always in contact and mother always spoke highly of Gordon. The last time I visited with Gordon was at the graveside service for Doris. He was a fine man and stood tall for the Hall name. I regret not knowing of his passing sooner but want you to know of my love and support for his family and his legacy. Sincerely, Carl Jan Bodily - Bountiful, Utah
