Gordy was born July 31, 1933, on a farm in Apple River, IL, the son of Foster, Sr. and Alberta (Cook) Glasgow.  He attended school in Scales Mound.  In 1956 Gordy was drafted into the U S Army, stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland, as a Military Police, which later in life was said to be one of the best things he had done.

On June 23, 1957, at the First Presbyterian Church, in Scales Mound, he married the love of his life, "His..Little Sweetheart," Bev White.  Happily married for (55) years they had two children, Julie Ann Glasgow-VanRaalte and Jody LaVern Glasgow.  They farmed hand in hand on the family farm better known as "The Poor Farm" and together built Glasgow Trucking.  Gordy was a daily regular at the coffee shops in Scales Mound, Shullsburg & Elizabeth where cards were played, the BS was spread and jokes were told.  He enjoyed life and said you have to have a good laugh.

Gordy was a past member of the Jo Daviess County Radio Patrol, Scales Mound Fire Department and a founding member of the High Point Cruisers Car Club.  His old cars and antique tractors were his passion.

He loved spending time with his family and friends.  His quick wit and jokes will be missed by many.

Surviving are his daughter, Julie (Stewart) VanRaalte; his son, Jody (Tammy) Glasgow, both of Scales Mound, IL; five (5) grandchildren, Chet (Tina) VanRaalte, Quenten-Lee (Sarah) VanRaalte, both of Scales Mound, IL, Ashlee (Adam) Miller, of Peosta, IA, Gavin (Fiance', Aleah Bauer) Glasgow, and Chase Glasgow, both of Scales Mound, IL; six (6) great-grandchildren, Chelsey, Laney & Mitchell VanRaalte, Grace, Sam Miller and Gretta VanRaalte; and his four legged buddy, Ali Lou.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Bev; his parents, brothers, Meredith and Foster (Jr) Glasgow; sister, Lorraine Gaude'; great-grandson, Grayson Miller; niece, Debbie Glasgow-Redfern; and his in-laws, Delmar and Lauretta White.
