Dear, Linda and the Winham family,
Gil was an inspirational professor, mentor and friend to me for more than twenty-five years. My undergraduate experience at Dalhousie was profoundly enriched because of the time that I spent in Gil’s classroom and under his research supervision. After my time at Dalhousie, I greatly enjoyed and benefited from his friendship as a skiing and fondue companion, fellow news junkie, fan of the Daily Show and source of sage advice and great stories. I will miss him terribly.
I deeply regret that I will not be able to pay Gil my final respects at today’s services, but my thoughts will be with you, your family and Gil all day, from afar.
On behalf of Lisa and our family, please accept our heartfelt condolences.
Mike MacKinnon
