I took your old bowling ball out of the locker at the lanes Tuesday and used the 'ol girl all night - as far as I was concerned, you were throwing the ball, I tried to keep the swearing down but what the heck, it's bowling!

Take care my friend!

Gordy,
7 years ago today you were taken from us. From those who loved and cared for you. You are still in our hearts and thoughts. I know you are still watching over me and make sure I am ok. I want to thank you for that. Everyone says" life goes on" and it does. But it is still not fair. Someday our day will come and I do truely believe that. In the mean time we will have faith and strength to help each other. Talk to you later my friend.

You were on my mind when Gklor and I rode to Milwaukee to celebrate Harley's 105th last weekend.
Remember the 95th? We got into a lot of trouble and it was your fault....just kidding. That was the last parade I have riden in, seeing the Brewer's stadium (Miller Park) sure brought back memories of lining up for the parade at 4:00 AM!!!!

I have very good news!!!! I'm getting married!!!! I have been doing a lot of planning and figuring things out since you are not here to share this day with us. But I know you will be there watching over us and I'll be thinking of you just like every day. I am still figuring out what to do since you will not be walking me down the aisle like I always thought you would be doing. Justin has been great in being so understanding since I keep changing my mind on what I want. I know it will come together and I will figure out what to do for walking down the aisle and other things. I miss you so much!!!!

Well Dad as you know my birthday was the other day. My one birthday wish did not come true, for you to come back to my sisters and I. We miss you sooo much. I thought of you and wondered how different my day would have been if you were still with us. And then I would remember the sunday mornings when you would get up and make pancakes with one special ingredient, like chocolate chips, peanut butter or whatever you pulled out of the fridge. We always had fun seeing whatelse you could think of to put in those pancakes. We got a new cat and named him Tigger after you. I remember when you would do his laugh so well. He is quite an active kitty and gets into lots of stuff. We miss you and love you very much.

Hi Gordy,
As you know my life has change a lot in the the last few years.
I am happy and I am sad. I feel like I have failed your Mother and your Brothers and Sisters. I am going to do all I can for them.
Someday when we meet again. I know you will greet me with a smile and we will laugh and cry together.
We miss you and we love you.
I have not lost touch will Steve and Gloria. Those two people are
unbelieveable. We are keeping you alive by keeping this book going and other things also. Your chapter in life is not done and we will not let it end. You so deserve this and I know you are tickled by this. Be good and tell Elvis hello for me.
Always weez

Daddy, I miss you so much every day. I think about you often and have pictures of you in my place. I am sure you already know I have a new boyfriend, Justin, you must have sent him my way cuz he is perfect. I know you are watching over me and I knew he would be perfect for me. You would love him, he reminds me of you sometimes. We just moved into an apartment together. We talk about getting married and having children and all I can think about is how you won't be there to walk me down the aisle or hold your first grand baby. I wish you were here but I know you are watching over all of us. Alacia and Vanessa are good, so is mom. we all miss you dearly. Every day I wonder why you had to leave, but never get any answers.
I read the other entries from your friends and family. I am so glad so you were loved by so many people. My birthday is next week and my only wish is that you could celebrate with me. I miss you tons.
Love Tiffany
your daughter

We knew how happy you were and that gives us comfort now. Hi & By for now love ,ya! Fred & Carol

Hello Gord-e-to! Well it has been another year and still not a answer to any questions. I know that you have seen all that has gone on down here and been with us all in spirit, so I won't write a novel! As you already know Patti and I are now married - it only took 4 years, but we got it done. We were at Jams the other night and I was watching for you cause I know you loved hanging out there, but I must have missed you! You are still in all of our thoughts daily and we miss you very much! I write on behalf of Patti and myself. He can't come in here to write to you because he still has a VERY HARD time with all this and he misses you so much that he can't express it. I think that is a "Guy Thing". I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
Much Love from us!
Patti and Annie Workman

Hello Gordy,
It has been awhile since I have written to you. And it is not that I don't think about you. I do that daily. I always have a tough time around this time of year. And I know you know why.
I do get alot of people asking about you also. You will never be forgotten my friend. As you know Tom has joined you. We are going to all miss him very much.
Pat and Annie are married now.
That was a good time. I would like to share more things about my life, But I think it is better left unsaid. I did make it to the cabin a couple of times this year. It is very peaceful up there. You take care Gordy. I miss you very much and you will always be in my heart forever. And I know you are looking down on me. Watching and protecting me. And I thank you for that.
Love ya ,

Riding season is in full bloom now. We sure miss hearing your bike and especially miss riding with you and Louise. Every time I see a Softail Springer, I can't help thinking of your bike. Like Louise said earlier, Dan is a lot like you, he really loves to wrench and really seems to have a good grasp on how things work. You and him would of made a great team.
Love ya pal and think of you often.

opening the cabin and getting
it ready for the summer.
I talk to Steve last week. He
said Danny is becomming a mini
you. Tears a bike apart to see
how they work. He loves to work
with tools also.
I miss you! We all miss you!

Well what can we say. December is such a hard month for us. We still think of you often and every time we pass by your place in the cities we can't help but wonder why. Some day we will have all the answers. Every motorcycle we ever see we think of your smiling face riding. When we were in Mexico we thought of you and naturally at the track you crossed our minds. Every time we saw your friends at BIR you were with them. Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and we hope a New Year full of answers. Any help from you & Dad would be appreciated. Fred sometimes thinks he wants to join you guys. Love, Fred & Carol

Every day is so hard to get thru without you. I think of you constantly and dream of you nightly. Everywhere I go I'm reminded of you, and I miss you terribly. No matter where I go or what I'm doing, I can always think of a story to tell everyone about you-wether good or bad, I cherish every memory I have of you. I so wish that I could've told you so many things, and shared so much more with you. I also wish I could've experienced with you how happy you were...you deserved it so much! I talk to you frequently, I hope you hear me...No one will ever be able to fill this hole that's been left in my heart since you were takin from me...I love you with every beat of my heart, every breath that I take, and every smile, laugh, and tear that I have. I love you so much...more than I could ever express. The only thing I look forward to is being able to be with you again. I miss you with every ounce of my being. Louise was a very lucky woman, and I hope to someday be able to share our joys of you together. I hope that you look down on me and smile, because when I look up, I can't help but smile at you.
I love you.

I was a good friend of Gordy's in High School and just found out (at our 30th reunion) that he had passed. I was shocked. Gordy was a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. We were in the band together and he was always someone I could talk to. I'm sorry he's gone.
Here's hoping they have fresh reeds in Heaven for you Gord.

Gordy,
Our lives are empty with you gone, swap meets are nil this year, I just do not have any interest.
It's funny how one person can affect your life, you affected my life and will continue to do so for as long as I exist.
Your bowling ball has continued to bring me games much higher than my average. For some reason, your ball scatters the pins better. I still use Vern II now and then but the GRH ball provides me with another option.
Well, go to go for now.

Hello Gordy! Boy we were out at BIR today , it sure will be hard without you. Mom was here last weekend and we watched the Sturgis special on TV. Now we know why you liked it so and we realized how much fun you must have had there!!! We almost thought we saw your and Steve's bikes sitting there. Fred's had some sleepless nights lately, you guys must be thinking about each other. It's just so hard wondering who could have done this. With the nice weather we see alot of harley's on the road and think of you riding around. As you probably already know, soon you'll have to call us Grandpa & Grandma since Scott & Kristin are having a baby in December. We are just a little excited! Well we hope we don't screw up the portable too much just bear with us, we are just not as good as you. Until someday---we miss ya---love, Fred & Carol

Hi Hon,
Everytime I turn around I hear

to say I love you.
Someday Babe, We will ride

don't think I can go on..
And then I think about us and
what we shared together.And I am
so thankful to have had you in my
life. We have a lot of good
friends and they are helping me
through this. And your family
is so good to me.
I know someday you will be right
there for waiting for me. And we
will go riding again. I miss you
and I will always love you.
Take care Baby.

Gordy, Well what can we say but it's sure been difficult. Not a day goes by that we think of you and wonder why. We know that's a hard question to answer and pray daily for a reply. Looking ahead of our year at BIR we only wonder how we will continue without you at the portable. We remember last year seeing how happy you were at the bike race and how much you enjoyed the National's!! By the way your blue truck was really sharp, it's about time you got a really nice vehicle!!! Also, Fred wants to (maybe) get a Harley jacket to remind him of you but he won't look as sharp as you in it. Till we meet again someday brother. Love, Fred & Carol

Hi Honey,
I sure do miss you. Life is really
not the same anymore. But I know
that you would want me to move
on. It is just so hard. I think
about all the good times we had
together. I just wish we could
have had the time to have more.
You will always be in my
heart and no one will ever take
that away. We did get the
get chance in life to feel
true love. Some people never
get to know what that is. I am
so glad you choose me. I love
you Gordy and I always will.
Take care baby,
Weez

Gordito, Hey brother, I miss you more than I can explain. I finally got my garage cleaned out so that we can work on our bikes. I will always remember you as one of my best friends. Thank you for all that you've done for me. I'll try to take care of things down here. I'll see you at Jams and on the road this summer. Take care.

Dear Gordy,
I will always remember the fun we had at the "Make A Wish" car show last spring. You were the best cook we ever had! Thanks for being a great friend. Our break table will never be the same. You are truly missed. Until we meet again...

Hi Gordon
Yes, I said Gordon. You will always be Gordon to me. It has been really tough knowing you are not physically with us anymore but I know you are watching over all of us. Even in my sadness, I am happy because I know that you are not in pain. You were always "Mr. Fixit" maybe from heaven you could "fix" a few things down here.
Love Ya

I knew Gordon as a neighbor and after reading some of the entries realized he was a Capricorn like myself and he had many friends and family members that loved him alot and truly miss him now. My heart goes out to them all and all will remain in my thoughts and prayers daily.

A treasure to be cherished, A gift from god above; Is the beauty of a friendship, Touched by unconditional love. A love that asks no questions,
Believes in all the best; Never doubting, ever trust,Withstanding any test
A love that weathers any storm, And yet that love still stands; Through the
very darkest hour, It still reaches out a hand. There in that hand the sweetest
gift, That you can give a friend; A heart that cares, A love that shares,
That will be there till the end. A treasure to be cherished, A gift from god above; Is what I share with you my friend, An Unconditional Love
