I am sorry to hear that Gordie passed away. I guess I knew of him mostly through Mom and Dad being his neighbors. It is always sad to hear of the country folk passing - they were so important to the community life. Sincere sympathy to the whole family. - Posted by: Sandra and Kent Coleman (Friends) on: Aug 26, 2013
