Other Comments: Gil was my very good friend while we were stationed together at Fleet Activities, Yokosuka, Japan. I thank Gil for advancing my indoctrination into Japanese culture. Gil and his girl friend Chiyoko had me over to their house in Yokosuka many times. I recall that Chiyoko treated Gil as if he were a "King" and likewise Gil treated Chiyoko as a "Queen." They were two people deeply in love with one another.
Gil was just a good ol country boy from Oklahoma. His mannerisms, feisty attitude, and rough language turned alot of people off but inside that rough exterior of his was a heart of gold. Gil would do anything for you if you were his friend and most anything if you were not. He was a great guy and is missed.
RIP tomodachi.
