Although I did not know Ron in person, I do wish peace for his soul and my deepest symphathies to his wife and family. I have seen him at the last class reunion and Ron will be missed by all who he has touched in his lifetime.
Again, my deepest symphathy to the Gillis Family.

I morn for the passing of my friend 'Gilly'
He was one of a kind
Course, hard and abrasive quick to rise at any occaison
Loyal to a fault ,supportive to any degree necessary to
help a friend and a truly gentle soul underneath it all.
Always true to his freinds Always true to Kathy and their
life together on their river,and certainley
Always true to himself and his notion of what a man should be
I

oh dear Kathy it has been way too long ....all these years and I never got to meet Ron but I certainly shared your happiness when you married him. Although I must work Saturday, I will keep you in my heart all day and will hope we can somehow reconnect in the not too distant future. Peace.

I remember Ronald from st Mary's School, we were in the same class for all 8 years. Condolences to his family.
O God of mercy, peace and love, we remember before you in this moment our comrade and friend – Ronald Gillis. We recall with gratitude and respect all that he stood for in his life. Help us to live in the companionship of his spirit, and to continue in the circles where we together moved as much of his purpose
