Meeting Gordon in 1967 was life changing. He was instrumental in my move from Dallas, TX to NYC. Gordon introduced me to Chris Chadman (deceased), dancer, and choreographer. Chris encouraged me to open a cowboy boot store in NYC and the store became a sensation. There are many people who were affected for the better by having Gordon as their friend.

Gordon...you are now home and with the many angels waiting for all of us here. My prayers to your family and my dear friend Martin as they deal with their loss of you. I hope that one day the heaviness in their hearts will not be as painful and that their memories will bring more warmth to their hearts than tears to their eyes.
