I don't quite know how to say what I am thinking but here goes....
Goodbye Gordon, you were such a big part of my childhood, you were always there for advice and you treated everyone with respect. We also shared a few beers in the time since then. You will be missed.

To Gordy...Words cannot describe how much you will be missed by all, but we know we will see again one day bigman on the other side and you better have the sing songs, shin digs and football games on the go. And your love and passion for football will be sadly missed.

You are a true gent 'one of kind' and we are honoured to have known you and for your friendship for all these years. Our block will never be the same but we will always remember you and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Sleep easy my friend.

Love Alex, Judy, Lucas and Freya.

RIP JGG 3T x

(Gordy's Neighbour)

Many happy memories of evenings spent in the Country Club with you and Alistair drawing shows on the back of beer mats before going for a curry in the Sangham Bolton Drive. Some of the best days of our lives. Thank you Gillie. Rest in Peace.
