Michael G Gill

My deepest sympathies to the Goll family. I also attended Fitchnurg State Collage and am one of Mike's Fenwick fraternal brothers. It was always a pleasure to see Mike at our annual reunions. RIP Mr. Gill!

We are so sorry for your loss.

Mike was kind and good and caring and an absolutely wonderful colleague. We worked and laughed together at Lynch school. I then saw him at Sullivan school when he was doing adaptive PE. We shared a November 14 birthday and he always called me special K and we always talked on that day even after I had retired 10 years ago.
When I spoke to him last year, he had indicated that he wasn't well and of course his voice gave him away, but we still had a great conversation and he made me laugh as always. We were all enriched for having known him and his family was blessed for being the recipients of his love. Mike was definitely one of the good guys and will remain as a blessing in my heart.
My deepest condolences to all of you, but what a wonderful legacy he has left!

He was a great person. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends., and to all of his students (who are now adults)
He had a very big impact on a lot of people`s lives.

Very sorry to hear of Mike's passing. It sure sounds like he continued to live life as we recall growing up together some 50 years ago. Gerri, John, Paul, sorry for your loss.

Me.Gill used to always bust my butt because I could never make it past the first knot on the rope climbing. He used to say how can you hold up someone on a pyramid in cheerleading if you can´t pull yourself up the rope. Little by little I made it higher just never reached the top. Lol definitely was the best gym teacher you can ever ask for .

Mr. Gill was kind, and really cared about his students. He taught me a life lesson decades ago that I carry till this day. I was in one of our basketball games being obnoxious and making rude comments about the opposit team. Mr. Gill didn´t embarrass me in front of my peers, he pulled me aside and held me accountable. His approach stern and it taught me great humility and now as a mom and leader I think of him and how I felt when he preserved my self esteem while teaching me a life lesson! May his family find peace in this difficult time he will always be remembered!

Rest in peace my dear friend! We wore pins tonight in your memory at our Unified Basketball game in Athol today! You were integral in starting the Unified program in Holyoke! Somewhere I know you are smiling!! Many laughs and shared beliefs in what is so important in this life! We will get together on the other side and laugh at this crazy beautiful thing we call laugh!! RIP
