from complications following bypass surgery.

his two brothers Wynand (Sheila), Ike (Irene) and sister-in-law Margriet (Bill).
He is loved by 8 grandchildren, one great- grandchild and many nieces and nephews.
Predeceased by his parents Bill and Nel and brothers Wynand and Bill.

Gil was a successful entrepreneur, owning a Painting Contracting company in Milton,
a Colour Your World store in Brampton and a Waterbed Store in The Netherlands.
Gil’s love of travelling and people took him around the world.
He enjoyed his “retirement” years as an active Rotarian in Palm Beach Shores, Florida and Wellington, Ontario.
Gil’s strong faith in God is a great comfort.
