I will miss talking to Gordy about hunting and guns. He was a great guy with a lot of knowledge and loved to share it.

Very sorry to hear about his passing.
Rest in Peace Uncle Gordon.
Uncle Gordon. I will always remember you on your tractor, the sun shining on your face. You took me on my one and ONLY hunting “trip” and I shot the heck out of that cattail. And my shoulder was bruised for weeks. And you yelling at me after Diane and I tried to “put the chickens to bed” Who knew they did that all by themselves??? Apples, tomatoes, chickens, hunting, lilacs. I thank you for giving me a love for the land. You are together with Helen again, as you should be. It was a privilege and an honor. Claudia.
