Not sure what to say?

To the Lorenz Family,
There is a quote that reminds me of Gil:

"I was happy to come here, and I'm sorry to leave, but while I was here I had me a real good time."

It was a privilege to know him.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I always enjoyed serving Mr. & Mrs. Lorenz at Sunset Country Club. He would always give you his card for his cc. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Melba, Gary, David and families

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I am so glad I had a chance to visit with Gil and Melba in July. It was good to hear them laugh and tease. May the promises of our Heavenly Father keep you all steadfast until you are reunited at the Father's throne. Hold fast to the memories that you have. Remember to laugh often - Gil would want you to!
Jim, Phyllis, Jeff and Susan Hansen

Gil was my Father-in-law for 40 years and he and I were both born under the sign of "LEO" that always ment to him and I that we were always right. He has many people who love him in Heaven as well as here on earth. I will miss him.

We're sorry to hear about Gil's passing. Please know your whole family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Mark and I were honored to be a member of the West County Optimist Club with Gil and Melba. He was such a loving, sweet man. We are blessed to have known him. Gil and the Lorenz family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Our loved ones are never gone when their memories live on forever.
With our deepest sympathy.

Dear Gary,
Please accept our condolences. Dad's are usually special people. My dad passed away but I still miss him. I hope you became friends and enjoyed years of sharing thoughts and ideas. My dad voted for McGovern and I voted for Nixon. Harry Russell asked him to talk to me about our contract with the ITU and he said "Talk to him yourself".
What lessons did your dad teach you? Are they still valid?
When I called your office last week they said you were out. I asked who...

Working for Gil as a young man at Color Art, definitely helped me to grow as person. He was my mentor as he was to many others. I respected him as my boss, a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. I feel very fortunate to have spent time with him this past Christmas Season.
Our sympathy to Melba, Gary, Dave and family.
