Gordy passed away

I saw the information that I think you're referring to and upon looking at Americana's website it looks like he's not on there anymore. I hadn't heard of this information but that's obviously not fantastic news and quite the opposite of thriving if true.

Bummed about Glenn’s issues. That’s all I have to say.

I just checked in with a dealer buddy of mine and apparently it's as bad as it appears.

I'm not really interested and haven't watched the video yet but here it is:

bummed would be putting it gently.. I always had a feeling something was not all there

I've actually found some to be a little disturbing in this whole industry. Personal view. No question. wow on the video..

Edit: That is pretty insane. I think lets keep cool, this was a friend I knew. This should be a cordial topic, but the charges here are quite major.

Seeing as this individual was named a one time ANA Adult Advisor of the Year makes me saddened and sickened. I’m sorry for those that knew him and called him a friend. I’m sure you’re probably going through some hardcore emotions right now and replaying a lot of things through your head. That’s normal and not an indictment of you. Who ever really knows what terrible things lurk in the hearts and minds of men.

Gordon, can we please get confirmation on that.

Kevin Lipton is still around. I didn’t know Glenn but I had heard about that a few weeks ago, I know it came as a shock to some west coast dealers.

Gordon O’Rourke passed away about a month ago – maybe a bit longer…..
I don’t have any other details….

sorry to hear about Gordon. I was a regular at his Citi Coin bid board..

Edit: set up with him (right to the left!) last year. He said he had something on his neck. so many strange happenings to those we cherished. Newhall Jeff of Coins Plus sold his place.

Came as a shock to everyone who knew and felt inspired by him. I knew him personally, even actually shared a hotel with him and my worker during an Ontario show. Played midnight online poker in his drawers. Nice guy, but had that element
