Gordy was my neighbor, he loved working in the yard and was so interesting to talk to. God is now taking care of him.

I met Mr. Correll when I was stationed at Jim Creek Naval Base, '64-'65. What a nice, gentle man, he was. The type you don't forget. I believe he also drove a very nicely kept vehicle. Rest in peace, my friend.
