Pat (Charles Patrick) Gilker

GILKER, Pat

Pat Gilker was a true gentleman, much loved by his family who were the most important part of his life. He was well known for his gentle spirit and patience, and his many dear friends and family were always welcome and treated to his generosity and wonderfully sharp sense of humor. As a father, friend, and grandfather, he will be in our hearts forever.

Dear Marilyn and family, Pat was a very kind, considerate and generous gentleman. It was a privilege to really get to know him over the many years we shared and learned together in church and our home fellowship group. You and he were wonderful hosts to the group. We explored and learned much about our Christian walk and we experienced Pat growing quietly in his faith and understanding. We all miss our fun times together very much, but look forward to seeing Pat in heaven. Our love, prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. ~ John & Vin Lampey
