Dear Claire, I have a lot of fond memories of Gil. That of a great co-worker(he & I were midnite to 8 partners as Troublemen), a fair boss, and a mentor. Gil was a great sheepshead player & I learned a lot about the game from him. We were bowling buddies and he accompanied me to Canada on a fishing trip one year.I remember the time you & Gil brought us two geese from your estate to release on our lake. Also the occasional Safety Dinner & retirement parties.We were saddened to hear about Gils stroke. We always enjoyed the special Christmas cards we received from you. Pease express my condolences to your sons( especially Glenn) and we hope our paths cross again someday.
