Age 99
Our loving father, Joseph H. Gill, of West St. Paul MN, formerly of New Prague, Bloomington and Annandale, peacefully passed away at home on 2/22/24, at the age of 99. He was born in New Prague in 1924 to Joseph and Eva Gill and lived on the family farm until leaving to serve in the Navy during WWII. He raised his family in Bloomington before retiring on Sugar Lake in Annandale. He moved back to West St Paul in 2013 to be closer to his children.
He is preceded in death by his beloved wife Patricia; brothers Alois, Hilly, Alphonse, Norbert; sisters Beatrice, Cecilia, Gertrude. He is survived by his sister Rose Mary, children Peggy (Doug) Mollison, Julie (Rick) Kerns, Joseph (Jacklyn) Gill, David Gill, Ann Gill, Michael Gill, 8 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.
He was reunited with our mom the night before their 67th wedding anniversary. May they celebrate together for all eternity.
