Gordy was a dear friend to me and I miss him every day. We would talk together every day about family, experiences, dreams and of course, dear Moddie! I'm lucky to spend the time since his passing with Moddie, who now occupies his seat in the dining room at Converse Home. We are happy and remember Gordy together with smiles and laughter. Peace and love to his family and friends.
