Wow! What a great life and person. Mr. Gillis is all the wonderful things people are saying about him and I'm very proud to have worked known and worked with him at VWR.

Gil was a wonderful friend and mentor. He hired me at VWR in 1969 and taught me alot about bridge. I will miss our luncheons immensely. Sincere sympathy to Maggie and Andy. Carol Pedersen

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I am so grateful that I was able to meet and keep in contact by e-mail with "Gil" over the years since you all visited with us in Boston. He was my Mother's first cousin and she had kept in touch over the years. Again my sympathy to all. Judy DeMartin
