"Gordy"
- 1933 - 2007
-
- I lived my life with only knowing dad as a truckie
- He made many friends and to me they were lucky
- To know a man who had such a love for life
- For all his kids and his loving wife
- He drove the roads day and night
- And some near misses gave him a fright
- But that was his job
- All the time to earn a bob
- He had a few years of retirement
- To enjoy some life and merriment
- Until he and mum became ill
- He did his best with his strong will
- He never let down his guard
- Until it all became too hard
- In the end he called all his mates
- To ask to meet for a final date
- This special man needed to say goodbye
- And asked that they all not cry
- He called his children together
- To say that in their hearts he would stay forever
- Enough pain for a life to endure
- He wanted to be in peace for sure
- He closed his eyes and went to sleep
- This man in my heart I will forever keep
- To my children Nikki and Jason he was POP
- To my grandchildren he was BIG POP
- To everyone else he was GORDY
- But to me he was DAD
- Lots of Love Always
- Your loving daughter
- Sue
