A Few of the Tributes to Gil

The Parthemore Family would like to thank everyone who attended services, sent condolences and reached out to us. The memories that you shared and your kindness will help us as we mourn the loss of Gil. We pledge to continue his legacy of serving our community.

 

These are just a few of the tributes to Gil:

 

“A man who always made me feel like the only person in the room. Thank you for your love, your genuine care and concern for my family and me, and your kindness. Your impact is greater than you’ll ever know!”

Elizabeth Gallo

 

“One of the kindest and most humane people I've ever met, a true comfort during my family's most difficult times.”

Richard Miller

 

“He was such a kind man, and he did not change through the passing of time. He extended that kindness in the care that he provided through the loss of both my parents and grandparents, and he has passed on those very special qualities to his sons.”

Sherrie Stewart

 

“Gil was a wonderful civic steward and a credit to his profession. Our community is a better place because he has lived in it. A life well lived.”

Joan & Bucky Walters

 

“Growing up around this family, I always looked up to and admired this man. I will never forget how he helped my wife and I when we needed it the most.”

Tim Leese and Family

 

“I am thankful that your father started his business here in New Cumberland, as it is a place of refuge at times like this and your family is appreciated!”

Terry Brady

 

“An absolute giant who raised an amazing family that has helped us through many times of grief. Extending virtual hugs to you all, and thanks for all you've done for others.”
