R.I.P. Gordy.....

Since the NYAR Circle on AC is "hidden"....I thought I'd copy and paste a post from that Circle by nature boy/ Roger about Gordy.

I know he was also a member here...and friendly with a few.

R.I.P. Gordy.....

Fellow AC members,

My friend Gordy Brodoway, a regular AC poster up until last year, passed away Monday after a year long battle with cancer.  I will miss his regular listening visits to my man cave, talk about our latest music or tube finds, chats on the phone and catching a local concert or an occasional Wilmington Blue Rocks game together.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gordy through AC and he helped me with a couple of projects over the last couple years. His soldering skills bettered mine by a country mile.  He was a caring guy, full of life, with a love for bicycling, white water rafting, kayaking, softball and bowling.  Gordy also had a fondness for his little red Mazda Miata and Saab's.

He attended one or two RMAF events, fell in love with Jim Salk's Veracity HT3's and purchased an early pair built by Jim for his system.  Gordy really loved those speakers, but it was the friendships he developed with many AC members and NY Audio Raver's that he really cherished.

I will be attending services this Saturday morning to pay my respects Gordy's parents and family.

Here is information on the service:
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 on Saturday August 21 at St. Helena's RC Church, 602 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington. Burial will be private. Kindly omit flowers in favor of donations in Gordy's memory to PACE Alumnae, 5171 W. Woodmill Dr., Ste 9, Wilm. 19808 or to Delaware Hospice www.delawarehospice.org.

Gordy, it was great to know you and I'll miss you my friend.

Peace to all,

Nature Boy

I remember him from a few raves.
Last rave I saw him was at Occoms when he brought the Altman Dac.
Nice guy. A damn shame.

My prayers go out to him.

Awwww darn, that's sad news. Gordy and I shared quite a few PMs. Lately I wondered what he was up to, having not seen him on AC for a while. I loved his unassuming humble childlike manner, combined with wisdom and knowledge of an expert. I knew he knew a lot, building Aikido tube preamps and power supplies and encouraging me to join in, but he was sincere and humble when it came to things he didn't know as much about. He was a master learner.  It's nice to know some of the other hobbies he was interested in, like cars and biking.

God rest your soul Gordy. You'll be missed.
