My thoughts and prayers are with you. George was a patient at the office I use to work at, Dr John Brown, in Cupertino. Always a pleasure to see his smiling face.

Jeeti, Nina, Sheila (Bryan) and Joanna, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I feel blessed and fortunate to have shared some time with your husband and father and to have laughed at his incredible sense of humor. He will be remembered fondly by many. Love, Ryan

My sincere condolences go out to Mr. Gill's family. There are few people that I can say changed my life and Mr. George Gill will always be at the top of the list. I was blessed to be one of his San Carlos High School students. He inspired us, challenged us, comforted us and praised us, No one was an outsider in his class, no one felt left out - he taught us to recognize, celebrate and use our gifts. What a Beautiful and Creative Spirit he had and is...Thank you Mr. Gill!
