Local icon Gordy Hutson Passes Away

Sandusky and the surrounding area are feeling a sense of loss this week, as local icon Gordy Hutson passed away last Wednesday.
Hutson spent life in Sandusky after landing here following service to his country in WWII.
He never left, and Sandusky was better because of him.
He was a local legend, committed and involved in many areas of community service but particularly the VFW, Sandusky Fire Department, School and Civic Athletics. Gordy was an avid sports official. His 45-years of officiating games saw him through his 90th birthday. His presence was magnetic as the athletes respected and adored him.
Gordy had a great smile, laugh and sense of humor. He was someone that truly cared for his fellow man, serving as a chauffeur to countless persons in need.
