Gil enjoyed hitting jackpots at Wind Creek Casino and lunch with his loved ones at McGuire's in booth 603. He never shied away from a hard day’s work and no project was ever too big. He was proud spending his life working extremely hard every day until his last breath to provide for his family. He was a stand-up man. Either he liked you or he didn't and if he didn't, that was your problem. Leaving this life how he lived it, by his own rules and on his own schedule.
Gil will forever live through his children and grandchildren, who are all so proud of his accomplishments and we will try to live up to his example. We will never forget you and you will always be in our hearts. We love you so much.
Don't worry about us, we'll be okay.
