Can't quite believe it but we'll be leaving for the game in about 10 minutes., And of course the Wings will beat the crap out of the Hawks in honor of Gordie. And it WILL carry over to the Avs game tomorrow. We should live so long!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GORDIE!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 Have a great time, Sandy!! I looked for you at the Griffs/Stars game last night, but I guess I wouldn't have seen you, if you were headed for Motown. Have a blast, how could you not??? Go, Wings!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kira 451 Report post Posted March 31, 2013 I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago. What a lovely man and such a class act. My heart goes out to his family, because, unfortunately, I know what they have gone through and will be going through with dementia - my father had Alzheimer's, and a more evil malady I cannot conceive of. It breaks the heart to watch a strong, vital person reduced to such levels. I've a feeling there won't be very many dry eyes in the house today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
