WE FEEL VERY HONORED TO HAVE KNOWN GIL THROUGH OUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER IN LAW, HEATHER. WE KNEW HOW SPECIAL HE WAS BY HER ACTIONS AND THE LOVE SHE HAD FOR HER DADDY.
WHAT A MAN AND DADDY HE WAS. HE WILL BE MISSED,BUT WE KNOW WHERE HE IS, BECAUSE HEATHER SHARED THE GOSPEL WITH HIM AND HE TRUSTED JESUS CHRIST AS HIS SAVIOR. WHAT JOY THERE IS IN THAT.WE WILL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN GIL.
LOVE IN CHRIST,

Daddy,
I can only hope that you know how much that you meant to all of us. I wish that I could tell you all of the things that I never had a chance to say;however, I am so lucky that something out there gave you the strength to pick that phone back up and say that you love me and good bye. I am so lucky to have been the last one to hear your voice and I will never forget. We all love you so much. I will always be greatful to you for holding on to me because I would not be where I...

Daddy,
You've always made me feel special. I will miss your hugs and the way you would always make me laugh. This world was a better place when you were in it.
P.s. I'll miss your 20 question interrogations every time I call home. I'll always love you, and I'll never forget you!!

Love,
Heather (your Charlie)

I am very proud to have been Gil's son-in-law. He was like a second father to me. I think of all his accomplishments, his greatest was the love he showed to his family and friends. He will be missed greatly.
"Thank you Gil for helping to make this world a safer and better place."

Uncle Gil - You will be missed. We were all so lucky to have such a wonderful person come into our lives. I'll never forget the many trips to Florida, Deep Creek Lake, and anywhere else that RV would take us. Love Barbara
