Gil Read

Deepest condolences to the family of Gil Read.

As the OASA website reports, Gil died this past weekend.

When we hosted the OASA Provincials in Fitzroy Harbour in 2003, Gil was our OASA liaison person. He was a huge help both before and during the tournament.

I know that Gil made a significant contribution to the game in the area, across the province and country, and on the international stage, at all ages from T-ball to the top level of men's and women's fastball.

UPDATE: The wake for Gil will be on Sunday Sept 2nd from 7-9pm, Monday Sept 3 at 2-4pm and 7-9pm at Kelly's Funeral home in Kanata (the one near Bridlewood).

Tuesday Sept 4th at 11am is the Funeral. It will be held at the Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata , close to AY Jackson High School .
