So sorry to find out of Gil's passing. We have lived behind him for over 50 years in Long Beach. Use to see him out walking with his cow boy hat on. He and my husband use to talk over the back fence a lot. Condolences to his family
RIP Gil

Gil had enthusiasm for life and loved sharing his travel stories. I will miss him and hearing about his adventures with JoAnn
