I believe that Gorgon Thatcher was a terrific man and contributed to the influence of how his children grew up to become wonderful people. His children, like him, are witty have integrity and have strong values on how to live a good life. He will be saluting his wife in Navy fashion and she will be waiting for him with open arms. My heart goes out to his children and their loved ones as I know they will miss him but will always have their fond memories to guide them for the rest of their lives. Love Rolyn and Pablo Gatti
