John Creed Gilmer

I was just on Facebook, and I saw this page and they were talking about Creed. My grandmother lives next door to Lucille, and when I was visiting my grandmother, I think maybe I was five or six, and went over to Lucille's house, like I always did when I was visiting. I walked in and walked into one of the bedrooms, and Creed was lying across the bed. I looked at Lucille and I asked her who that was. She said it was her baby and I was so amazed by that because I had never seen a baby that big....

My memories of Creed are still vivid! It seems like yesterday we all walked the halls at PHS. I so remember too his years at Bama. What an asset he was to Bama football and national championships! My thoughts and prayers are with the family , especially Phil, Jackie and his children. I have so many fond memories of all! My love to you Jackie my friend. Alice

Creed played next to me as he was defensive end and I was defensive tackle during our years at Alabama. We was as great friend to me and I have enjoyed our friendship for many years. Roll Tide, may you rest in peace.

Creed became a good friend over the years. We both were UA football letterman and shared our times together fondly. Rest in peace my friend. Alvin Samples

I did not know creed and he did not know me,but I followed his career listening on the radio to the Alabama games ;he was one of my all time bama players;rtr creed

Creed was a great person & friend. Thank you for all those times we bopped together. Roll Tide 4 ever!

Creed was an amazing guy, and one of my best friends. Wherever he was, there was bound to be a good time and plenty of laughs. I just know St Peter is getting an ear full of old Coach Bryant and Alabama football stories right now. I can´t express how proud I am to have been his friend and shared some time with him.
