Joanne Gilmartin Kelly let me know today that Bob Gile passed away. While he was not a member of the classes we normally do for reunions, he loved coming to our reunions. I believe he was in the class of 1966. I am so happy that he was at the last reunion where we honored our veterans. Bob was a wonderful man and I am thankful I got to know him.

May he rest in eternal peace and May his family be sustained by the memories they hold in their hearts.
