Name: Stuffy Singer E-mail: Contact	The news of Gil's passing is very disturbing. I first worked with Gil when I was 7 years old, almost 60 years ago. I will remember Gil as not only the consumate professional, but more importantly, a gentleman. I will miss you Gil. Your friend, Stuffy Singer   Added: October 13, 2008

I ran into Gil around Hollywood several times in the 1970s -- he was always gracious and was an encyclopedia of industry information. He had a lot of wonderful stories about working in films and his days in live radio. He was down to earth, approachable, and unlike most 'sports guys' -- he was able to talk about a world of other things. The character of his voice and the simple honesty of his narration did much to give a real authority the classic film "Stalag 17."   Added: October 13, 2008

Dear Cary and Mary-Margaret and the rest of the Stratton Family, The few times we had the enormous pleasure to enjoy the company of the senior Mr. Stratton, he was handsome, charming and truly delightful. He had a twinkle in his eye that was contagious. It’s so apparent where Cary gets his good looks! Although we came to California after Gil Stratton had retired, it’s wonderful to see here how very much he was admired. He obviously touched so many throughout his long career. Mostly, David and I knew him as Cary’s Dad – a great Dad. We are so sorry. Our hearts and prayers are with you. Love, Gretchen and David   Added: October 12, 2008

I remember the first time I saw Stalag 17 -- it was probably in the '90s -- and thinking, That's Gil Stratton! After years of knowing him as a sportscaster, it was an incredible revelation. My other lasting memory of Gil comes from CBS NFL broadcasts in -- and I'm guessing -- the '60s. The studio highlight shows we have today didn't exist back then, so if a game ended early and there was time to fill, CBS had someone at each game to give scores of other games. I remember seeing Gil, with a rotating scoreboard that had to be pushed manually, reading NFL results. As an 8-year-old, I wanted that job. Now I'm in my 40s and I still want that job. I'll miss Gil Stratton.   Added: October 12, 2008

We worked together for the first time on Gunsmoke, March, 1952, their first broadcast. On all the dramatic radio shows we participated Gil was always "all business" and the "star". Beginning in 1988, he appeared in various old time radio shows for the Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound, in Seattle. Year after year, he never missed. Thanks Gil. You are certainly a star !!!

Dearest Cary and Mary-Margaret, I've known Gil as Cary's Dad and somehow that role shone more brightly to me than all of the other accolades, probably because I love Cary and MM so much. But I am sure pleased to view this website and see that Gil has lived such a rich and glorious life. He will be missed by many. But, he sure played life to its fullest while he was here, and enriched so many of us through his work and contributions. Love to you, Cary and MM, and anyone else who is mourning the passing of this great man.   Added: October 12, 2008

I'm very sad to hear of Gil's passing. I belonged to the SCSBA for a number of years and Gil was one of the greatest members the club has ever had. He will certainly be missed. I'm actually at work right now and I'm working on this story (of Gil's passing) and I'm actually looking for a photo. I don't know if I can use the photo on this web site. Gil deserves to be remembered and I want to get something up that will look good. jimriggio@clearchannel.com   Added: October 12, 2008
