Oh, Gordon. No, no no. This can’t be true. You’re too young (82), you have too many jokes left to tell (not that I always understood them), too many weddings to officiate, too many Georgia Days to celebrate, too many Batman costumes to wear. You take up too much space in a room – in a good way – for you not to be here.
You have too many stories to tell, like the time you won the $200,000 Quik Pik Powerball ticket at a Parker’s gas station on Victory Drive. Who wins that much money? Before that it was the $10,000 you snagged in the Mega Millions category. Was there some lucky sequence you chose?
