Gilbert Farley Obituary
FARLEY,
Gilbert J.
Gilbert J. Farley was born February 12, 1948 in Spokane to Gilbert H. and Irma Kruger Farley. He graduated from North Central High School. He served a tour of duty in Viet Nam and was honorably discharged with a medal of commendation. Shortly after his return home from Viet Nam, his life was impacted by a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Gill was avid reader, specializing in history, the classics, anything about fly fishing or MS, and maps. When he was able, he was an active outdoorsman looking forward to hunting and fishing seasons. He was a long time member of the Fly Fishing Club, and took pride in his successful participation in fishing tournaments. He was a peer support counselor for the MS support group members. Although his physical condition progressively limited his activities, Gil continued to be deeply interested in the world around him. He met each day with hope and courage. Gil died on September 19, 2011. A graveside service will be held on September 29 at 2:00 PM at Riverside Memorial Park, at 508 N. Government Way.
