You will be missed by those who worked with you in Neotoma and gained much by the experience. Also, the air field trips over southern Ohio in Ecology. These are memories I have cherished over the last 50 plus years.

Gill was a real gentleman and scholar. He epitomized the objectives of Torch International. When Beth joined him at our meetings, it was a welcome event.

Sally, Karen,
Our entire family is greatly saddened by the loss of Gil. He was a fantastic "second dad", possessed an immeasurable wealth of knowledge and his boisterous and contagious laughter will be a recurring memory for a long time to come. Please accept our sincerest condolences and sympathies as you grieve the loss of a great father, husband, Navy veteran, friend and educator. His presence on this Earth will assuredly be missed by all those whom were lucky enough to have met him. Very respectfully, Kevin, Martha, Ryan, Kylie, Makaira & Rayce

We will continue Beth and Gil's legacy with our extended family--Sally and family and Karen and family. We will miss our Sunday dinners at the Chelsea, but what wonderful memories we have. Nothing can change that. With love, Keith and Nan.
