Gilberto Schaefer

So long Uncle Gil we are all so shocked and saddened by your to-soon and sudden passing.

I couldn't reply immediately, I felt too sad learning about Chäfer's passing away. No photos of our lovely time spent together, but the memories will stay forever! Ciao Chäfer, yours Kim

As a complete and total stranger I have been moved by the beauty of this obituary of a lovely man. What a blessing he must have been to his loved ones!

Gil was a good man. Peace

Doris, Kelly, and Jesse, I can't imagine the sadness you're having to manage right now. Your Gil, your dad, is among the finest humans I've ever known. His skill and passion, his sense of justice, his compassion, his reverence for all sentient beings, his generosity, and the contagious joy he spread when he laughed are just a few of his gifts to our world. My heart breaks for you and all of us. Love to you all.

We say goodbye to Gil, with so many memories of this creative and high energy man. Warmest condolences to Doris, Jesse, Kelly and all of his friends and family.
