So sorry to hear the news of Gordy’s passing. We enjoyed seeing him the times we visited Gloria and Roger. Always fun when Gordy came around. A good man,…rest in peace Gordy!
I have fond memories of growing up across the street from Gordy. Even though we have a 10 year age gap, he always happily included the younger kids. I have more memories as an adult getting together with him while we were both living in Minneapolis. Gordy was a good guy. My thoughts are with his family. He will be missed.
Our prayers and sympathy to the Landuyt family. I grew up knowing some of the Landuyt kids in various scenarios…my dad worked for gorsys dad George, Gail and Gwen we’re our babysitters, and Gary was in my class, I worked for Jr. and Mike for a short time and visited with Gordy every chance we met at the farm. RIP Gordy!
Prayers and Sympathy Gloria and family at this difficult time!

We lived across the street from the Landuyt family and share many memories.
You are in my thoughts
