I met Gilley at the local Full Gospel Businessmen's Group. His faith and friendship was a blessing to all who attended. He was always friendly and supportive as men shared their struggles with him.
May the Lord bless the family as they rest assured in the knowledge that Gilley is in heaven now.

Got to know Gilley and Mary Lou at SonBlazer basketball games over several years. Got to chat with Gilley last time on earth on March 4 at the ballgame. Always charming . . . always gracious.
