As a Neighbor (I have been employed by Whirley for 31 years) I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your family. I have interacted with Mr. Gillett many times in my coming & going to work and we have had many deep conversations, some of which were heated ones about Whirley.
I know that he will be missed by many family & friends.

John, so sorry to hear of you’re Dad’s passing………..thinking of you.
John. As your dad’s roommate at the Warren Manor before going home, I had great affection for him and his wry sense of humor. Was greatly saddened with Adrienne here at home today when we read the news of his passing. We share your grief at this sad time.
