Gord loved to talk about fish. Every time we would have supper together that's all we would talk about, and I really enjoyed that time with Gordy. All ways laughing and smiling. The one thing I will always remember is the he would call me young fella. Something I would never forget. You will be greatly missed. Now you can enjoy life some were up there lifting nets in the nicest conditions. You were an genuine man that old fisherman. With love Donovan Harmon and family. - Posted by: Donovan Harmon (Fellow Fisherman/friend ) on: Nov 01, 2015
