We all have wonderful memories with “Gordie” in them.  He leaves a great legacy full of amazing people who are a reflection of his life and what he believed.  For him there is no greater reward for his time here.

He was an active member of his church and held many callings and served a mission with his wife in Kirtland, Ohio.  During his retirement he worked for many years doing genealogy.
