Not sure what to say?

Still missing you Gil. The world lost a true great person when you were taken. We´re all better people for having known you...Rest In Peace

I am so sorry for your loss. Please find peace and comfort in knowing God cares for you and will help you in your time of need. 1 Peter 5;7

Dear Stacey, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Gil at New World Records and I will always cherish my memories of him and all the great times we shared. I am so happy that he had you in his life.
RIP, sweet Gil.

You were a very special part of our extended family and we all loved you very much. My deepest sympathy to Stacey and to your sister and brother and the rest of the family. RIP sweet man.

Gil was one of my favorite people, even though I knew him mainly as a work colleague. He was my supervisor for over 10 years at City Hall Records, and we would often (probably too often) engage in silly/profound discussions and would often crack each other up. The obit had it right... he was a sensitive, kind Southern Gent. Though we used to constantly joke that existence was futile and suck-y, Gil knew that it was also beautiful and good.

You will always be in my thoughts Gil - Miss you Brother!

To the Wife, Family and Friends of George. I'm sorry to read about his passing. My heartfelt condolences to all.... God's comfort be with you

Gil used this picture once as his Facebook profile picture. I actually thought it was him! Nope, it's one of his favorite tv actors, Don Knotts. Gil always made me laugh! I miss him!
