    Gordy was a good friend of my family. They were also neighbors of ours in Richfield. He was a good man and will be sorely missed. Our condolences, the Hanson family of Harriet Ave. In Richfield.

    Sorry we couldn’t get the live video to work, but we’ll look for it online in a few days. We will certainly miss my Uncle Gordon and have the family in our thoughts. Bill & Gie Walker

    My deepest sympathy to Carol Grindeland and their 3 kids, Deb & Greg, Jim & Kathy and Steve’s (deceased) former wife, Rhae Ann Vedder, and all their kids and grandkids!

    Gordy was such a kind and gentle soul, always positive and loving. Every day was the “best day of my life!” Our family inventor who tried to make life easier on everyone! He always thought “out of the box” and came up with solutions for everything. So wish I could have been there and heard all the tales and remembrances at Jim and Kathy’s after the funeral.

    Know I love you all, praying for all, Cherri
