Gilbert Neil Amelio
Gilbert Neil Amelio came into this world on December 14, 1924, in Bronx, New York, and was tragically killed by a car while walking on September 14, 2006, in Hemet, Calif. His four children, Frank Amelio (Karen) of Carlsbad, Calif., Susan Doyle (Shannon) of Monument, Colo., Glorina Fetherolf of Agoura Hills, Calif., and Marisa Emlen (Bill) of Vacaville, Calif., survive him. His loving and beautiful wife, Beverly, passed away in 1998. He is also survived by his dear, younger sister, Gloria Osbrink of Laguna Niguel, Calif.
Gil was the consummate story-teller filling lives with tales of his travels or a simple tale of a drive through the mountains to catch the morning fog before it rose to the sky. He had a very rich life filled by family, friends and his love of reading, writing, painting and sculpting. These interests were his passion, his strength and his pride. His engaging personality etched in the memory of all those who met him.
Gil received his Bachelor of Arts degree after attending USC and Loyola University. He began his law degree at UCLA and completed a degree in law at the University of Detroit in his 15th year of military service in the Air Force. He served in the Air Force for 30 years with a variety of duty stations all over the world to include the Air Force Academy.
After his military service, Gil was a producer of It Is Written for George Vandeman in Newberry Park, the 700 Club for Pat Robertson, and took the Hour of Power (Robert Schuller Ministries) to Sydney, Australia.
Gil added to his story by fulfilling a lifelong dream of acting and screenplay writing.
