Sending our condolences to you Sharon and All your family for the passing of Gill.
We will miss our chats with Gill while he ' walked his little-dog' - reminiscing of his rowing career and talking of Dad. It was joyous hearing the respect they had for each other.
Resting in Peace now. - Pat and Janetta Wilson
