How does one say goodby to such a wonderful person such as Gordy? Words alone cannot express the sympathy that we feel in our hearts for you, Pat and family. Earth has lost a dear friend, but heaven has gained a bright angel. We'll always cherish the wonderful times we have had in Daytona Beach with you and "Homer"....the day that Gordy bought that crazy hat with the braid, all the bike rides, pot lucks, campfire visits, etc. Gordy will always live on in our hearts, and we'll always be looking around the corner to see if he's coming over with his coffee cup in hand, a smile on his face, ready to have a friendly chat. Pat, we wish we could be there with you to hug and console you, but you and your family are always with us in thought and prayer. In sympathy and love,
