Gil, so you've left us for a better place going to that great football pitch in the sky, hope you got a good seat and will keep an ever vigilant eye on the rest of us mortals you left behind.  As one of the few good ones who really made a positive difference to the State Referee Program, you will be missed.  To your family, I wish them all my deepest heartfelt condolences and ask that they always remember that you made all of those who were fortunate to have come in contact with you through their involvement with the sport of proper football a much better person.  God bless you all.
All the best.

Gil, you were one of the first "big shot" members of the Virginia Referees I'd meet. You trained me as an Instructor, worked along side as an assessor...more importantly, you were a good friend. God Bless you and your family.  Semper Fi

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

God's peace to you and your family Gil... until we all meet again.
