In his 90th year, with his dry wit, loving nature, and sense of humour still intact, Gil passed on Saturday, January 15th, 2022. A devoted husband predeceased by his wonderful wife, Pat Fearnall. Loving father to Bruce Fearnall (Barb), Gary Fearnall (Kelly), and Jodi Dutz (Andrew). Dearly loved by his grandchildren Adam (Kelsey), Lyndsay (Zach), Marli Hannah (Sam), Erica (Max), Sienna, Jaime, Anthony, and his great-granddaughter Marlene. A proud grandfather who loved and supported his grandchildren and great-granddaughter with his whole heart. He will be fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Gil was a proud Winnipegger and a passionate Jets and Bombers fan. In his early years he worked with JJ H McLean Piano (where he met Pat) and Trans-Canada Airlines before joining the Canadian Red Cross in 1957. He was promoted and moved with his family to London, Ontario in 1974 to become the Centre Administrator, a job he did with great conviction and enjoyment. After 40 good years, he retired in 1996.

He was a genuine family man who never stopped inspiring those around him with his positive attitude and energy, bringing love to all. He always made people laugh, even while fiercely debating the issues and news of the day. He was loved deeply and completely by his family and will be greatly missed.

The family wishes to thank the Amica London staff, Dr. Amita Kanwar, and the Community Paramedics for their tireless care and support.

Due to Covid, a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Condolences and messages will be received at https://www.westviewfuneralchapel.com/obituaries/. In lieu of flowers, donations to McCormick Home or Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation will be greatly appreciated.
