Everyone who knew Gil understands that he had an enormous heart and would do anything for others. Half of his life was spent in Southern California, and the other half in Wisconsin. None of us expected this sudden loss, and Gil was working hard to provide a bright future for his daughter. In the midst of this time of grief, we do not want to lose sight of what matters most - honoring a life that touched us all. The life of a United States Marine, a father, brother, son, and a person who worked against incredible odds to provide for his family. Given the circumstances of his unexpected departure, the burden of making sure his life is honored properly requires us to humbly ask for help. There is so much more to say, and this will allow us to do so. We love you Gilbert, so very much, and there is nothing we can do to change how much this hurts right now except knowing that you are free from all pain and suffering.
