Gil was a good and loyal friend for fifty years. We have only good memories of our times together. We will miss him greatly. Sorry we didn't make the trail ride on the horses from Lake City to St. Augustine.

Uncle Gil was a funny, caring man. Although he hasn't been my "official" uncle for many years, he was still family to me. His sense of humor will be missed. God bless to his family.
