What a sweet heart of a man. Gordy always made me smile. I loved his sense of humor. He always had his camera with him at different events and taking pictures of everyone. The last time I saw him was at the fish fry at O.L.P.H. I gave him a big hug. Hugging him now in my heart. Love you Gordy. Barbara Bell

I meet Gordon at his garage sale on Bradford Drive. I bought a very large sign that he made that said MERRY CHRISTMAS. I displayed it on my garage for many years. I would run into Gordon from time to time and remind him of the sign. He was always pleasant and would say you are the guy from Medford and Rugby. You still got the sign?
Well the sign faded away after many repaintings and my memories of Gordon live on. A life will lived.

May you all find comfort in past memories as well as knowing Gordy is not suffering, and is together with Marty now.
With deep sympathy,
