The Gills! It was quite the shock to hear of Owen's passing...living so far away one does not know what is going on. Growing up with all of you the one thing that comes to mind.. other than lounge chairs on Hatherly Road to the tune of "Strangers in the Night...." is "Owen Gill is a pill 'cause he won't take us to the Red Coach Grill." I lost my dad last year and you can bet Owen is saying... "Shaddup Mac!" Just so you know he is in good company. Love to you all and God Speed!!

Dear Gill family, We were truly sorry to hear of Owens passing. He was quite a guy. Liz and I always looked forward to having a tall boy with him on our trips to Scituate. I know you all must be devastated by his passing but the legacy he left behind with his large and loving family is as great a testimony to a life well lived as there can be. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will truly miss him. With great affection Kevin and Liz Ransom

Dear Ginny, Terry, Rob...(and the rest of the clan)

My heart goes out to you and your family regarding the passing of Owen. He was a kind, gentle man with a wry sense of humor that always made me laugh. I will miss visiting with him on my jaunts to Rob & Terry's house, though I know he will always be with us in spirit. I know how painful it is losing a loved one -- this last year has been doubly difficult for me -- and all I can say is concentrate on the good times, his smile and his many friends and family. We are all here for you and though myself and Niddy can't be there physically, we will be thinking of you and praying for you.

All our love,
Chris & Niddy
