To the Swanner family: I was a friend of Gil's from St Paul's who also lives in Athens. I have fond memories of Gil with his sweet ways and his big smile. Years ago he was in our group who would have lunch together after church. This is where I got to know him. He will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep the family in my prayers. It makes me sad that I will not be able to attend the service today due to my caution of the Covid virus. Lee Goehler
