Gil’s grandsons Gibby and Garrison paid tribute to their “Pap” during his funeral service. Each of them shared some of the many ways that Gil made a difference in their lives and those of other community members. Here are some excerpts of their eulogies.
Excerpts of Eulogy by Gibby Parthemore:
“I know that each of you had a unique and personal relationship with my grandfather.”
“He was always there for me offering wisdom, guidance and, as always, unconditional love and support with a little humor sprinkled in there.”
“Pap was a man of many talents: successful businessman, a dedicated community leader and a loving husband and father. To me he was also a master storyteller, prankster extraordinaire and constant source of laughter and joy.”
“No one could make you feel more special than Gil Parthemore when you walked into a room.”
“Pap has taught me the importance of letting go. Of accepting what we cannot change. And finding peace in the midst of loss. He has also shown me the power of faith and the beauty of a life well lived.”
Excerpts of Eulogy by Garrison Parthemore:
“I always knew my grandfather was a great man, and it seemed like we couldn’t go out to dinner with him without seeing someone he knew, but the outpouring of support we have received from the community is amazing and a testament to the impact he had on so many people.”
“One of the things which I learned to appreciate most was how hard my Pap worked for everything he had.”
“While he was in mortuary school, he would take the train to and from Philadelphia every day. Even as a full-time student, he found time to work at the A&P store, at the steel mill and at several funeral homes in the area. This same hard work and dedication would continue throughout the rest of his life, in every facet of his life.”
“As Pap got older, he never really changed. He might have mellowed a little bit, but he was
always uniquely himself.”
