Not sure what to say?

I am deeply sorry for your loss
A warm smile
A happy laugh
A gentle touch
A loving embrace
May fond memories of your love one fondle your soul Psalms 94:19

Just got word...very saddened to hear of your father's passing. Have many warm memories of gatherings at Quincy and on the home front. Always admired your father's character, warmth, and sense of humor. He also was a great example to me as a husband & father. Grace to you & peace, Hank Zwirkoski

Kind thoughts are with the family in your time of grief. May fond memories bring you comfort during these difficult days Psalms 9: 9, 10

I worked for and with Gil at NFE International for 6 years back in the early 80's. Gil was a true "gentle" gentleman who was always kind and respectful to all. I remember how his face lit up when he talked about Henrietta and his family. I enjoyed exchanging holiday cards with them for many years.

My thoughts are with the Ceebin family at this bittersweet time - Gil and Henrietta are together again!

So sorry for the loss of your dad. I'm sure he was a great guy to have a wonderful and caring daughter as Sylvia.

I am so sorry for your lost. May you find comfort in the God of all comfort because he cares for you. 1Peter 5:6-7.

Gil Ceebin was a big part of my life when I was a high school girl hanging around his house with my best friend, his daughter Sylvia. He was funny, generous, and sweet. His life-long love affair with his wife, the beautiful, glamorous Henrietta, was evident in everything they did; it was a pleasure to be around them.
Mr. Ceebin would come home from work, dressed for business, carrying egg foo yung for everyone. I was made welcome every time.
What a guy.
