Thank you Bev for the true obit for my brother. I did get to speak with him before he passed however my sister Gloria Sorge did not! Gordy had many nieces and nephews and loved all of them dearly. He is missed by all his family.
Gordy’s loving sister Gale
To Gordy’s family – please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Gordy was a Verona guy and loved by so many. I am concerned that there was no mention of his predeceased children, Gordy and Dana as well as his sisters, Gale Rosenthal and Gloria Sorge. I have cut and pasted an obit below that his dear friend, Kenny Kistner just sent to me. May you rest in peace Gordy. Sincerely, Bev DeCheser.
