Gordy loved to bowl and was on a Friday night Minda Lane team with a group of buddies he grew up with. He was on this team in the 1980s-1990s. He also loved to go fishing and camping until he found golf. Golfing was Gordy’s passion for the last 15 years. He was one of the original members at River Ridge Golf Course. He played there every day and met many great friends. Everyone always knew when Gordy was out playing, you could hear him across the course. For many years River Ridge was the place to hang out to golf and have drinks and dinner. Brother Bob Page, Robert Poteet and Mike Cowin played in The Fat Boys tournament. He also played in several other tournaments over the years. Golfing is where he met his best friend Leonard. They would travel to different golf courses to play a few times a year.
Everyone who knew Gordy loved him. He loved to tease and make people laugh, he loved cooking for people and getting together. He would stop at Wray’s IGA, Helms and Tractor Supply almost every day on his way home. Everyone knew him at those stores and loved to see him.
