Not sure what to say?

I just happened to think of him today and was doing an internet search to possibly see how he was doing. Was sad to hear that he had passed away. I was Gil's letter carrier for many years. We would usually chat for a minute or two. He was a great guy.

I knew Gil from the local art community. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Sending light to his family.

I have been Gil's neighbor for 11 years and enjoyed his art and playing with Mr. Peabody. He was a gifted framer and always suggested the right color of matting. I have many pieces that Gil framed for me and remember the good times when I look at them. Be at peace, Gizmo.

I've known Gil for years on a professional basis. He was a pleasure to work with. He framed articles and sentimental pictures - a great job. I was just thinking of him the other day when I looked at a framed photo collage by him that my siblings and I gave to my parents. I am so sorry to hear of Gil's passing. He was way too young and had talent to give. Praying his family and friends can find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Hold tight to your memories.

Your spirit is set free....we will miss your earthly presence but are certain you are in a wonderful, lovely (and artful) place. Rest in Peace, cousin. God Bless.
Love,
Phyllis & Michael Miller
