He was predeceased by his parents Gordon and Frances and his mother-in-law Isobel. Born April 22, 1947 in Vancouver, Gill then moved to Winnipeg and spent his youth in Fort Garry. He attended Vincent Massey Collegiate. Gill worked as a draughtsman and an assessment officer for the Manitoba Government. He will be remembered for his passion for golf and his custom handy work. Other interests included hunting, working on cars, woodworking and spending time with family and friends. Friends were very important to Gill and he looked forward to his payday luncheons in Portage la Prairie. Although he suffered from many health issues, Gill's attitude was always more than 110%.
