Happy Birthday to The Hat Man

August 12, 2016

Brampton, ON - Happy Birthday to The Hat Man


Today, 12 August 2016 would have been the 78th birthday of my good friend Gordie Newman.

We lost Gordie in 2004 just after he returned from the ISF World Tournament in New Zealand.

I think of Gordie often but even more frequently this time of year, he loved the ISC World Tournament.

I met Gordie at the 1994 ISC World Tournament in Summerside, PEI, my first ISC WT.

In 1997 Gordie and I teamed up to attend the ISC World Tournament in Victoria, BC, the trip of a lifetime. I must write down some notes about that wonderful adventure with the Hat Man.

Gordie, you may be gone but you are not forgotten. Your family and your friends miss you and we will all be thinking of you more than ever this coming week.

See the memorial to Gordie Newman posted by friends.

 

Your buddy
