Gilbert J. Clappin Jr.

Dear Judy and family: I was very sorry to hear of Gil's death. What a stressful time of transition for you. Long ago when we were young adults, Gil and I worked in behalf of the RI Young Republicans. I don't know how long Gil remained active in politics, but he gave a lot of energy to that endeavor and we all held him in high regard. It is sad to learn of his passing. In sympathy, David Griswold

Dear Judy,

Please accept our deepest condolences. We are shocked to hear about Gil's death. He was a wonderful man and a great boss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Judy & entire Clappin family,

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathy from our entire family. This heartwrenching news has affected everyone who knew Gil, and has left an empty spot in all of our hearts. We'll always be here for you. All our Love, Carolyn & John, Brock & Heather, Garrett & Maria

My sympathy to the whole family. Saturday at 5:00 PM mass there were special prayers for Gil, I was so shocked when I heard. May God Bless you all. Linda Verhulst

Dear Judy and Family,

Jay and I were shocked to learn about Gil. We loved seeing the two of you at the marina. You both shared so much love. We will miss Gil's smile and the joy his friendship brought. Our prayers are with you and the family.

Jay, Jan, and Cindy Carter

Maybe it was that we were both born in Brooklyn, or Associates in the Carlson Wagonlit Network family, or just two guys who became friends. Gil made me feel as if I have known him all my life. He will surely be missed. Pat and I send our heartfelt sympathy to Judy and family.

Jim and family -

Dear Judy & Family,

My family and I were very sorry to hear about Gil's passing. He always had so much energy and enthusiam, and most of all a great positive outlook on everything. I feel privelegded to not only have known him, but to have him as my boss for three years. He was always kind to not only me, but to my girls when they would come in and visit. My condolences and prayers go out to you and your family at this difficult time. To the girls at Donovan in East Greenwich, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I know the office must seem strange without his presence, but he'll always be there in spirit.

Love and miss you all.

Judy & family

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Gil left us much too soon, but his everlasting smile will be with us always. Always remember that he truly made a difference in this world. God Bless

Judy and Family:

I consider it a priviledge to have known Gil through the Carlson family for many years. He was indeed a professional and always maintained a positive outlook. His smile, his warmth, and his upbeat attitude are things we all can aspire to. His presence in the Carlson family and at Carlson functions will be missed, but his influence and memory will remain.

Gil - You were every man's hero. A good father, husband, businessman, golfer, boater and a friend to all. We all have a part of us that wanted to be a little like you. No one who ever met you could help but love you. You will always be a part of us. We will miss you "Mayor"

Dear Judy and family:

It was an honor to count Gil among my friends for the past 17 years. We served together on the Carlson Advisory Board. He could always be counted on for sound advice and a caring attitude. He will be greatly missed by the entire Carlson family.

Gil was one of those you looked forward to seeing at each Carlson meeting...as he was full of ideas...and willing to share them.
I'm thinking of his smiling face...and praying Judy and family take some solace in time well spent together and the sure promise that awaits him.
Godspeed Gil.

The Meetings and Training team at Carlson Wagonlit Travel has had the pleasure of working with Gil and Judy and their staff for many years. We loved Gil's enthusiasm for his business and life in general. I was so excited when we called Gil and Judy's names as our Associate of the Year during our national meeting two years ago. They were so deserving of the award. He exemplified the business person who many wish to be -- a leader with great integrity who cared about his team and family and continued to intelligently build his business. We will miss Gil deeply in our network!

Judy, please know you have my heart felt sympathy. Gil was my good friend. He was a man of honor, evidenced by his honesty and integrity. Gina and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Gil was an inspiration to so many of us within the Carlson Network. He will be truly missed. My deepest sympathies go out to the family, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Judy,

Our Deepest Sympathy:



Ecclesiates 3:1-8

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck up that which is planted;

A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;

A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to seek, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to cast away;

A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

A time to love, And a time to hate; A time for war, And a time for peace.



We are thinking about you during this difficult time.

We want you to know that your loss

is shared with many friends who care

and that you're in our thoughts, and

hearts, and our prayers.

Judy,

I was so shocked to hear of your loss. Since retiring from CWT, I don't get the opportunity to keep in touch as I would have enjoyed.

Our deepest condolences to Gil's family. We had the pleasure of meeting Gil on the dock and we looked forward to stopping by Usta Golf to see what he was up to.
