Remembering a good man
Welcoming hugs full of care
Big smiles with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes
A loving no nonsense deep voice when he spoke
Thinking of you all and how he affected the lives of family and friends

Uncle Gil, I don’t know what to say. You will greatly be missed. I will miss hearing the lawn mower and skid steer, knowing that you were there.
Thank you
Love you uncle
