We were saddened to hear of the passing of Gil, and Wendy and I both wish to convey our condolences to the Greenholt family. Gil was one of the nicest, kindest, warmest men we ever had the pleasure of knowing, at work at Science Press, and on the golf course. Playing golf in the company of Gil was always a better experience, which I will always treasure.

Joyce,Deb,Sue,Craig and grandchildren. So sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Gil for 20 yrs. He was a gem. That million dollar smile of his always made a bad day good. I will miss his phone calls on my b-day and me calling him on his b-day. And sometimes inbetween. May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you peace. When I think of Gil it will put a smile on my face and a hug around my heart. I know it will help you also. God Bless –
Shirley Wise.
Deb,
As you and your family continue final preparations and details associated with your Dad’s passing, may everyone be filled with a peace only the Lord can provide. Seek His comfort as you walk thru the mourning process.
Our sympathy,

I was saddened to learn of Gil’s passing. Please allow me to express my sincere condolences to all of you. It was my pleasure to work with Gil at Science Press – back in the day. Gil was one the good guys as a Planner/CSR, who actually came back to the Bindery and consulted with the us folders … to see if a job could realistically be accomplished. He was also a great 1st baseman at the company picnics when we played softball. Again, I am sorry for your loss. May I please share with you some Words of Comfort that I have found to be meaningful to me at similar times of sorrow in my own life … GOD in love has promised grace for every trial, strength for every sorrow, help for every mile, and may HE in sympathy and unfailing love impart help for each tomorrow and new courage to your heart. Cast your burdens upon the LORD, and HE shall sustain you; HE shall never allow the righteous to be moved … Cast all your cares upon HIM, for HE cares for you. … Psalm 55:22, 1st Peter 5:7 …
Sincerely,
Frederick Holler
