It is a sad day for me. My friend Gil lost his battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday. He lived a long life, he was a wonderful, compassionate and generous friend. He loved his wife Gail dearly and he enjoyed a good party. The funeral is just going to be for family members, Gail will have a "Celebration of Life" party later on this month in honnor of Gil. I talked go Gail briefly this morning, we are all still in shock. If any one were to beat this, Gil should of been it. Gail told me to go ride Kipp in Gil's memory. Not only will I do that, but I'm having a glass of wine too. Gil enjoyed a good bottle of wine. I will miss you Gil, I will miss going out on trail rides with you. I will miss watching your kind and gentle nature with that fruit cake of a horse that you and I would share. I will miss the christmas parties and your laughter. Rest in peace dear man, for you so rightly deserve it.
