I worked with Gordie at Greensteel for many years. He is the one that trained me and showed me the ropes of that place. He was very good at running the stock-room and took pride in a job well done. He was a good friend and a great guy to talk to. We had many conversations and laughs between the two of us. We kept in contact for a while after I left Greensteel, but then lost contact with him. I only found out now that he has passed away. My condolences to the family. RIP Gordie. - Posted by: James Friesen (Co-worker) on: Jan 04, 2018
