Mrs. Wallander, Kurt and Heidi,
My thoughts for you all. Mr. Wallander was always a fun person. He gave me my first speed bag punching bag platform for my house on Oakland Ave. That was 1975. I remember Gig giving my mom real eggs at church for easter.
Sincerely,

Dear Linda and Heidi, I was shocked to read about gigi in the paper. I moved back to charlestown about 4 years ago and wondered why i never ran into Gil or Linda. In this time of sorrow i always try to remember this saying "Gil is on his way to the next journey of this thing we call life." I know how hard it is i lost my dad (jack Rondina) about a year ago. It was horrible even though i knew that he was better off. Take care all and God speed Gil. John Rondina.

Dear Linda, Heidi and Family,
Please accept our heartfelt condolences on Gil's passing. You know better than anyone what a great friend and asset he was to our community. His death is eclipsed only by the quality of his life and the joy he brought to everyone's table. While we will all miss him forever, we will certainly never forget "Giggy". We were all very fortunate to have him as our friend.
Sincerely,
Jim and Paula Halloran
