Gordie was a great student at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Michigan State University. He loved all kinds of family pets, and it showed in his work as a student. In fact, he enjoyed it so much he served as an Intern at the Veterinary School in his senior year, living at the veterinary school, and taking care of hospitalized patients after hours. Because of this and his friendly nature, he and his wife, Pam, enjoyed a very successful veterinary career taking care of family pets in the Washington, D.C. area where they lived. He will be missed by us all. May he rest in peace. From his classmate and friend, Fred
