Dear Judy and family,

We want to express our love and sympathy to you at the passing of this remarkable man. We were so fortunate to get to know Gil and Judy as we worked together in Scotland. He was a special and sweet man. We loved to discuss the gospel with him and we shared many fond adventures as misssionaries. We extend our love and warmest regards. Tom and Barbara Fredrick

I was fortunate to have had Brother Scharffs as an Institute teacher at the University of Utah during the mid to late 1970's. The thing I remember the most about him and his classes was how enthusiastic and excited he always was in teaching and promoting the gospel.

Dear family, The Samuel & Jeanette family wish to send their love. Joesph, Hyrum, John, Esther, & Gladys. Gilbert lived a great life. I remembered him being unassuming & humble.

Our condolences to the Scharffs family. I worked with Gil as a student at the Institute and was blessed by his open and faithful approach and personal warmth. He always took the Gospel and his students seriously without taking himself too seriously. We were later in parallel stake presidencies at the University and enjoyed that collaboration. Our best wishes. Jim Jardine and Family

I was fortunate to have Bro. Scharffs as my Institute instructor and branch president while at the University of Utah, and later worked with him at the Utah Symphony. What a wonderful person he was! My deepest sympathy to your family at this time. What a legacy of love he has left for us.

To Judy, Yevette, Brett, Lisa, and Calvin,
During my studies at the U of U, Gil routinely had me over for Sunday dinners. That was always a wonderful part of the week. I also had a world religions class from him that I appreciated. I could never beat him in chess however. My deepest sorrow at your loss. I wish you all the best.

Dear family,
Sorry about your loss. We know that you will miss him. We are Virginia's cousins. Gladys Smith Brown, Kent Brown, & Joan Smith Scott

Dear Yvette,Brett, Lisa and Calvin,
