Laurie, Jesse, Corrin, and Jack I am so deeply sorry about Gil. What a beautiful person he was with a giant heart. I just found out and I know it is a year later but my heart goes out to your family. He was truly a blessing. You are a spectacular family and I am so sad that you lost Gil.

I worked with Guil in security at Kings Island. He was great to work with and was a wonderful person. He treated everyone with respect. I still remember after Winterfest how he said that his family was taking him to Germany. I'll miss seeing him at Kings Island.

Guil,

I'll always be grateful for your support and help at WHIO-TV when I was trying to become a sports broadcaster like you. I was never able to be as good as you or Hartsock but your guidance was invaluable. You're a true professional and will never be forgotten.

I'm going to miss our talks about tv shows and travel. Guil touched so many lives in such a short amount of time. He was a great friend and co-worker. Once an arrow, always an arrow.

Gil, buddy

I only knew you from working at Kings Island, where you used your teaching skills to build us up, and to bring all of us together.
My friend, you will be missed by way more people than you can ever imagine. Your kindness, and caring attitude on all the many lives you touched will never be forgotten.
Your memories will live with us for many years to come. Thank you for letting us share just a small sliver of your life, you were taken away from us far to soon.
Gil, you were truly, "old school". You will be sorely missed.
