My condolences to Kevin, kris, Kerri and Karla and their families. I remember many great times with 'Ebbie' as my mother always called him growing up back here in Minnesota. I have fond memories of my infrequent visits to Boise as well. Regards from Minnesota

To Gil's Family,
I would like to give my sincere condolences on your loss.
