Ernest Gilman Jr.

I knew Mr. Ernest Gilman since I was a little girl. I went to school with his daughter Maria and we were neighbors. I remembered hearing him from our yard. He was such a wonderful man. I remember when he took all us girls fishing. The most precious gift that was given to me by the Gilmans was the wedding gift of video taping my wedding. Even thought I grew up and moved away and had a family I always remember Ernest and Maria Gilman, he will always be in my memories and prayers. Love...

Growing up the oldest and only daughter of Don Quidgeon Sr. aka Tantaquidgeon, my Mom would always say, "Your Dad's crazy cousin Ernie is coming for a visit!". He was always loved and known for his sense of humour and practical jokes! My father was also in the US Navy and I was raised in Portsmouth, Virginia. Later, when Ernie married and he and Maria were stationed at Little Creek Amphibious Base with their young daughters we got to see and visit with the entire family. I loved...

We are very sorry for your loss. Gilly was a dedicated Tribal elder, and his contributions to Mohegan will never be forgotten. I am happy he could live his final years back on Mohegan reservation at Fort Hill.

I worked with Ernie at EB for several years. He was very helpful to me as a learner and one of the few female electricians.
My condolences to all of his family.

I did not have a chance to meet Uncle Gilly, but thru his nephew Ernie I heard about what a great man he was and always will be. The whole family is in my thoughts. God Bless.

My family members are very saddened for your loss. Gilly will be missed dearly.He has such a long legacy with this Tribe.I also remember the chowder and the cutting of many potatoes, thanks Faith for that memory.I pray for all the Gilman family and that they can hold these happy memories deep in their hearts.
Kindest Regards from us all.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I want to extend my deepest condolences to you all in your time of sorrow. He was a man who truly was interested in preserving the Mohegan culture.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
