Al & Jeffrey in 2017 @ Doris’ Celebration of Life!

Taken at Washington Family Ranch - Mackenzie was singing on the Music Team!

Ever-grateful for the special relationship our family had with the Grand Gillets! And, in particular, the fondness they had for our kids. Their wise counsel influenced us - each of our three did “go up to Malibu after Junior Year”, as Doris soundly advised (or commanded!) - today, they are each grounded in faith, active in church communities, and two are serving as worship leaders. Doris insisted on celebrating her December birthdays in 2013-15 by going to see Jeffrey’s shows at the 5th Avenue. He adored them both so deeply. I’ll always remember him singing to Doris over the phone as she lay in her coma at the hospital… tears streaming down his young face as he sang her sweetly to Heaven’s Gate! Al was a model for all men - young & older! His servant’s heart blessed everyone who walked into the Sonbeam he reflected! What a team!! ✝️

Al was my favourite boss of all time when I worked for Pay n Save Drugs in Delta BC Canada.  He left our store to be a district manager for Hawaii and it was a sad day when he left.  He had a strong belief in the Lord and many times we always talked about it and when he  and Doris were living on the east coast he would send me a card saying that they were praying for us.  Such a thoughtful man.  Adored him!!  


Al was a wonderful servant leader who faithfully loved and stood with friends for a lifetime.  He and Doris were a great team who traveled the world building friends and sharing the love of Jesus.  
We all treasured our friendship with Al Gillet.

Al always made me feel welcome at the house on the lake! We spent hours swimming, diving, shooting hoops at the Gillet house. Mostly though Al showed me that real men could follow Jesus.
