    Mr Gill was one of my favorite clients while I worked as a home health nurse. He always told stories about his teaching, experiences while serving in military and fondly told stories about his family and also, loving his flea market get togethers. He was a good guy. I'm a better person for knowing him. Nurse Becky

    We had so many great memories as cousins growing up. I loved how close we all were then and even as adults, we still had that connection even though we didn't see each other very often. Gary and Dennis were the leaders since they were oldest so we had no choice but do What they told us. You will be missed cousin here on Earth but I know your parents, my parents along with Grandma and Grandpa Sims are so happy to welcome you to Heaven. Until we meet again there, rest well.

    Mr. Gill was first person to teach me how to balance a check book. He was a great educator. He had a great sense of humor and I will always remember his laugh. I hope for comfort for his loved ones during this difficult time. Many consider themselves lucky to have known him.
