It was a pleasure working with Gordy at Kodak. I learned a lot from him at work and he taught me the finer points of trapping.
May the good Lord give his family peace and comfort.
His memory will stay with us all..
A Great Friend and Mentor! Left many Great Stories and Experiences over a Life Time. Will be Remembered Forever and Greatly Missed…
It was always something that I looked forward to at the NYSTA convention talking toGordie. He would say “I can’t believe the number of people that say they come here to see me”. It won’t be the same, but you can bet he’s watching over us. Your tour of duty is over my friend. It’s time for some new ones to step up and carry the pack basket. Rest in Peace, until we meet again.
