I worked with Gil many years ago at Teleco Oilfield Services. He was the most remarkable man I have ever known. And I truly believe that Gil was the most widely liked and respected member of our Teleco Family. He will not be forgotten. With sincere sympathy, Chris Langer Sparta, Tennessee

With deepest sympathy during this time of difficulty.
