Condolences to the Family on the passing of Uncle Gil, one of the wonderful Erato Brothers. Uncle Gil will be remembered as a great father, brother, grandfather and great grandfather who put family above all else. Like all the Erato brothers he was a great example of what a man should be. He stood up for what he thought was right and didn’t back down. He said what he meant and he meant what he said. He leaves the entire family with many great memories–he will be missed but we know he has earned his reward in Heaven.
I love you Grandpa. I’m so sorry we couldn’t visit soon enough but I’m happy to know you and grandma are at peace together.
So sorry for your loss. Hope you and Heidi and the girls are OK. Randy and Lorraine.
Sorry we couldn’t visit you in time but now that you’re in heaven you all the pace all around you
Sorry to hear of the loss
Made Baklava using Uncle Gil’s recipe last night. I will always remember going to his house with my Grandfather Angelo, and my brother Andrew to visit and solve the world’s problems. Uncle Gil would pour what felt like the worlds largest glass of milk, and served up a nice dish of cookies to pair well with it. Say hello to Grandpa for me!
I have fond memories of our late night talks after everyone went to bed. Miss and love you Uncle Tony.
I am so sorry for your loss Victor.
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your dad. “Uncle Gilly” as the Brant kids knew him was such a nice man with a beautiful smile. Keeping you all in my prayers ❤️
