GISLI HAROLDUR EASTMAN

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• Though I had known of Gisla,s passing for a while now. I find it necessary to comment on the man most knew as the Cowboy from East St Paul. Gisla and my father Harvey Renaud are 1st cousins from Riverton , and I suppose I am his 2nd cousin. I had met up with him and his son Garth on many occasions at the Winnipeg Blue Bombers games. I always gave him a wave from a couple sections over and a kind wave was returned by both , I will Miss that. I work for the Manitoba Telephone System and now bell mts. I had popped into see Gisla a few times at his place on Hoddinott Rd, in East St Paul, in the past few years prior to him leaving us. I always felt such a wonderful feeling that I did after leaving and the conversations we had. He always had such kind words for my late father and mother Sylvia, and that was always appreciated. Dad and he sung together often in younger years and often Dad would comment on his love for his dear cousin Gisla. I guess I just wanted to say that if you walk through life in. "his way of doing it" ....your doing ok ! God bless you Gisla for the times we shared chatting you were a wonderful man ! Darryl Renaud - Posted by: Darryl Renaud (relative ) on: Dec 03, 2020

• I realize that this is late but I just realized that your father had passed away. My heart is heavy. Your dad has been a customer of ours for as long as I can recall and we always looked forward to his visits. He was always so positive and friendly. Always had something good to say. Just before he stopped coming in we would see him a few times a day. He was a sweet man and he has been missed. Our condolences to his family.

• Sorry for your families loss. The Cowboy as all the staff fondly referred to him was such a pleasure to serve. He would come into the restaurant regularly and was always happy and would make our day. He will be missed by all of us.

Gisli was a favourite cousin and friend to me. I am going to miss my visits with Gisli. When I was young, I spent a lot of time and summers at the Eastman farm in Howardville.

• Riverton was my wife Sigrun's hometown. Gisli was always a warm and happy part of her life memories, and of mine and my children. Rest in peace, old pal of ours. - Posted by: Rudy Bristow, Val and Dorianne Lafontaine (Family friends) on: Jan 21, 2019

• I have been neighbors with Gil for the past 4 years. He would come to visit any time I was outside with my dog Ozzy. We would talk about world events and he always ended the conversation with comments of his love for his wife Deanna. Gil would often play catch with Ozzy and I know they both loved the interaction with each other. He was a kind and caring individual who will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to his family. - Posted by: Barry Poersch (Neighbors ) on: Jan 20, 2019

• Sharon and family- I’m so sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. It was just a few months ago that we were together, chatting about him. It’s been a long time since I had seen him, but I remember him and your mom as very kind people, always welcoming your friends into their home. My thoughts are with your family at this time. - Posted by: Dale Boroski (Friend) on: Jan 19, 2019

• My Dad was John K Erickson from Riverton (passed in 2005). My Dad was with me at one of my sons hockey games many years ago and we ran into Gisli there also watching hockey. They were so happy to see each other and when we left my Dad told me stories from when they were young. RIP - Posted by: Geraldine Selkirk nee Erickson (Acquaintance ) on: Jan 19, 2019
