Memorial for Gordie

A friend of ours passed last Sunday and his memorial service was held yesterday. Gordie lived the end of his life in Guadalupe RV Park in his park model home. Frequently we would see him out and about and always with his dog Rusty. When Gordie developed esophageal cancer several years ago he went through therapy and returned to his beloved dog and home. His long time companion Betty was a staunch supported throughout. At the memorial service we learned much about his life and service to others. What came through strongly was his love of this country, his enjoyment of traveling (He wrote a book about RV travel), and his service to others. He set a fine example for us all.

His dog has found a new home with another winter Texan, Vivian. So Rusty is in good hands. Gordie is in a better place and at rest. We treasure his friendship. Happy travels.
