My heart felt condolences to Gordon’s Family.
I have my fond memories with Gordon. As kids we did a lot together. Spear fishing. Coon hunting. Camping. Hunting rabbits pheasant deer. We went to school together from second grade until graduation. Gordon and I played basketball together all through school. Drive in movies was often a Saturday night outing.
