Gordy was known for his innovative ideas and his relentless determination to complete jobs on time. He made many friends in the Ironworkers, I remember seeing them in our home often as my father liked to host parties and entertain his friends. He enjoyed sports Hockey, Football but loved baseball, I remember him rifling fastballs at me as a kid so I got good with my glove. One thing about my Dad is he lived life his way.

Rest In Peace.
