Gordy was born on July 23, 1941 in Williamston, the son of Dale and Florence “Floddy” (Williams) Shepler. He graduated from Ludington High School in 1959 and married Priscilla “Pinky” Earl on July 1, 1961. Gordy worked for the railroad for 12 years, then owned Shepler’s Odd Job Service for 10 years.

Gordy was a member of the Pere Marquette Historical Motoring Club, the NRA, and formerly the Eagles and Moose. Gordy was a stubborn German who loved woodcarving, making knives, hunting, snowmobiling, and riding around on the dune buggy.
