I worked with Gil for almost 20 years out at Campbell Army Airfield. We were both electronic technicians. We worked, together, laughed and just had fun. I do not think I ever saw Gil get mad. He would always shake it off and go about his day. Gil was a good man, a good co-worker and I will miss his laughter. Rest in peace Gilbert.
