Ann, Kathy, Priscilla and Connie,
My sincerest sympathy on hearing of Gil's passing. I just heard about this today. I remember him from years back to just recently at Vincents. I know you will all have great memories of your life with him. Always a smile when I saw him from being at your home or even in a store.

Please accept our sincerest condolences on your loss. We are somewhat distanced relatives, but feel the loss just the same.
Uncle Gilbert was my dad's (William 'Bill' Goodwin Sr) cousin. I remember them visiting our family when they were in Binghamton.
May he rest easy.

To the Clark family- sorry to hear about your loss, I have known most of you since I was very little, [former Cindi Brackett] would sometimes see Mr. Clark at the local Post Office, or in the yard,
I explained to my two kids, who you are, as they loved walking by the big pretty home on Main Street!
