I remember Gordon well from high School and remember a sense of loss when he moved. Although it has been a very long time since we have seen one another I have that same sense of loss today. My heart is with Ann and the family.

I haven't seen Gordy since high school, however, I expected to see his name on the big screen as the director of several hit movies.  In high school, he would script out and film Bill Fernau, Bill Hawley and me acting out scenes while we were dressed in appropriate, period clothing - usually WWII films where he could use his Nazi uniforms and relics.  He had a very good sense of humor and never feared to express it.

We'll miss you Gordy.

Gordon was a good friend to me when we were both in Seattle at UW.  He was there to finish his degree, and we reconnected when he enrolled in a class I was teaching.  He helped me and my sisters out in all sorts of ways, from mechanical skills to morale boosting.  I am saddened by his passing; Ann, my thoughts are with you.

Although I hadn't seen Gordy since high school, I was really looking forward to connecting with him at our 50th.  I remember so fondly being in his "movies"................showing up on a Saturday morning & then getting myself wrapped like a mummy or getting wounded & being drenched with ketchup!  I always figured Gordy would go on to become a big movie producer............he was a very unique & creative guy........phenominal!  He is missed!
