The newspaper didn't mention all the work he did for the Peninsula Christian Singles Club. What great times we had there in the 80s. Gil was always involved in making the club better and making people feel comfortable. I didn't know he was in Lions Club until I talked to Furman Kenney yesterday. --Chris Astle   ~ Chris Astle, Newport News, Virginia Contact Me   April 21, 2010   Mary, I worked with Gil at Supships and he was always such a wonderful co-worker and he always talked so much about his family.

Gil was a huge part of my childhood (so were you both!) and I have nothing but good memories of him and hanging out at your house. Even though I haven't seen him for many years, my Mother has kept me posted. It's always felt good when I returned to Booth Circle to see Gil's house and know he was there. Not many people from our childhood still live on Booth. I think of you both often and hope you are doing well. Mark is a Grandfather, oy vey!! Much love.   ~ Laurie Drucker, Austin, Texas Contact Me   April 21, 2010     Mary Frances and family: We love you and know that you will find peace in the knowledge that Gil is now free and in God's hands.

He was truly your soul mate. ~ Wanda Adelson, Newport News, Virginia Contact Me   April 22, 2010   Dear Alice, Gary and the girls, I was saddened to read of the passing of your dad, father-in-law and grandpa. I know how difficult it is to lose your father as I lost mine over ten years ago. Just keep speaking of the wonderful times that you had together and of the great things he did for you and others. Your heart will want to explode at the viewing tonight when people mention the way he affected their lives but it will be from pride and joy that it aches. Remember each of those memories in your heart as you know where he has gone and that we all will be with them one day. I will keep your family in my prayers. You are a good family and Orcutt misses you.   ~ Pam Chalkley, Hampton, Virginia   April 22, 2010   Please accept my deepest sympathies.   ~ Mark Hutcherson, Roanoke, Virginia Contact Me   April 22, 2010   I am saddened to hear of the loss of your loved one.

No Night There

Words by John R. Clements, c.1899
Music by Hart P. Danks (6 Apr 1834 - 20 Nov 1923)
http://www.songwritershalloffame.org/exhibit_bio.asp?exhibitId=197
 

1. In the land of fadeless day
Lies the city foursquare;
It shall never pass away,
And there is no night there.

* Refrain:
God shall wipe away all tears,
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears,
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.

2. All the gates of pearl are made,
In the city foursquare;
All the streets with gold are laid,
And there is no night there.

3. All the gates shall never close
To the city foursquare;
There life’s crystal river flows,
And there is no night there.

4. There they need no sunshine bright,
In that city foursquare;
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is no night there.
