I am truly saddened to learn of Gordie's death and the suffering he went through prior to it. I first met Gordie over 47 years ago along with his grandmother. Over the years our friendship developed and grew, so that I valued him as a close and true personal friend. We had many coffees, conversations and times together. He had a remarkable memory for dates like birthdays and anniversaries. His years with Tammy brought him love, happiness and stability. I am so glad they found each other. I shall truly miss my good friend. I am so sorry I live so far away that I cannot be with you to share in your grief. Be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with you. May Gordie forever rest in the peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
