I have a lot of good memories of us trucking together.
I remember a few times when I thought I was the first one at the pit. At 3:30 am I would drive in and see no other lights only to realize that Gilles’ truck was parked at the pit already, lights off, engine off. I’d pull up behind him, thinking he was sleeping in his sleeper but found him underneath the truck with his little light strapped to his forehead, greasing the truck.
We used to visit all day on the two-way radios. Sometimes we had to stop and let the radios cool down!
Rest in peace, Gilles.

Gilles, when you were trucking, I went with you a few times from Elk Point to Ardmore. We visited & talked about all kinds of things, also we got to practice our French. I will miss talking with you my Dear little brother!
Much love, your oldest sister Jeannine

Dear Liz and family,
Jack and I are very sorry to hear of Gilles' passing. Our sympathies and prayers to you all.
Although I didn't know Gilles well, I knew him enough to know that he was a nice guy with a very good sense of humor. I'll never forget when we were all in Mexico for Crystal's and Brad's wedding and we had just finished a good meal (which Gilles obviously enjoyed because he leaned back in his chair and said, "I can't wait to be hungry again!") :)
God bless you all.
Jack & Joanne Way

My dear little brother Gilles. You will be forever missed but will remain in my heart with happy memories of you. I am so happy that I got to see you a couple of time this past summer. The time we got to spend together was just too short. I am sad that you had to leave us so soon. Rest in peace until one day we can be together again. I loved you more than you ever knew. To Liz, Rachel & Roger & family remember to pray to God to help you in your sorrow. He will be your strength to help you through this difficult time and know that you have a guardian angel in heaven looking over you. Gilles was a good person and very much loved.

I uploaded a picture of an Orb in the black sky which reads:
On Saturday, October 27th 2018 at about 10 PM, this orb showed on our camera and we presume that it was the spirit of Gilles. He floated and danced in front of the camera for several minutes and came very close to the house to show that he was okay. He then took off into the sky.

In the eighteen years that we have lived here, we have never observed this.
This is why we believe that it is Gilles to show us that he is okay.

Little brother, I wish you could have stayed so we could have grown old together. But it was not meant to be. I realize that the past few months, you were not really living, but holding on for all of us because we were asking you to. For once in your life, you put your needs first so I have to respect that even though it hurts. I pray that you are at peace and one day we will be together again sharing more happy times. I will love and remember you always. Big sister!
