He coached and ran summer baseball for the years his boys played. He was involved in the boy scouts committee for many years and he made sure Adam and Will achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He would make every effort to go wherever to watch the boys when they were in high school sports. Gordie enjoyed golfing, playing cards and working in the garage. The best part of his life was vacationing with his wife and boys in Chetek, WI. He had many lifelong friends because of his wonderful character.
