Sending my thoughts and prayers to "Mrs. Gilson" and her family. I have fond memories of both Mr. and Mrs. Gilson - riding to JHS every morning and working in the Audio Visual office. Not surprising that I went onto a career in teaching and technology. Mr. Gilson touched many lives!

Sincere sympathy to Janet, Cindy, Susan, John and their families,
We will always remember John's friendly, humble and charitable life. He knew how to enjoy the life he was given from fishing, sailing, boating to mentoring and giving back so much more to the community. What a great friend he has been to many and we can all strive to follow his example. Thinking of you all, and take care,
Love, Linda, Paul, Bradley, Shawn and Robert

My husband, Bruce and I had such fond memories of Mr. Gilson as our driver's Ed teacher. Let me just say that my husband is a better driver than I am! After I started teaching in JPS, I grew to respect him as a leader and I have always admired him as a person. I am sorry to read of his passing but I do want his family to know that his positive influence has left a mark in many of his students' lives.

Our deepest condolences to all the family. John & Janet have been dear friends to our family all our life. He has left a legacy of compassion and good will that will be remembered by all who were fortunate to know him.
I was lucky enough to see him again several years ago, and he was still the same out-going and caring person that I remember. Leading by example, he was truly someone to respect and emulate.

Mr. Gilson was my driving instructor at JHS & he was always so kind, patient & caring. Since I grew up in First Lutheran Church, I would see him on Sundays & I always liked to speak to him when I saw him there & as a teenager, thought he was a handsome man!
My sympathy & prayers go out to Mrs. Gilson & the family & I am saddened that I will not be able to see him this summer when I return to Jamestown for my high school reunion.

John was a very kind and sharing gentleman, who helped us plan our Western Zone Retired Teacher Spring luncheons and took an active part in our work. He will be missed, but he was called HOME on his birthday, so he is celebrating in peace and love! May the memories you shared with him be a source of comfort to you.
