Obituary for Gilbert Cassorla

After a long battle with cancer, Gil Cassorla passed away peacefully at home.

He lived his life as he intended and without regrets. To him the quality of life was what was most important. He was a good son, a wonderful brother and a loyal friend to those he cared about. He was kind hearted, generous and sometimes too honest for his own good. He could be sarcastic, brash and opinionated but those that knew him appreciated his truthfulness.

He came to Brick to help out a friend after retiring as a successful garment manufacturer, believing it would be a short stay. He came to love the area and the community and ended up living there happily for the last twenty years surrounded by the people he loved.





There is an old Eskimo legend that says: they are not stars in the sky but holes in the heaven so the departed can look down at their loved ones and friends. I would like to think it it true and he is now watching and smiling.




To the many friends who were there for him and there were many, I thank you for him for your kindness and caring. He was fortunate having all of you as part of his life. He always thought of himself as independent, a loner but learned in his darkest hours that people really cared about him. He cried not from the pain that wracked his body but knowing that he was blessed having you all as part of his life.

He talked about his coffee group at the hospital whom he dearly loved. You all know who you are. To Bob a special thanks. You made his last day tolerable. So don't mourn his death but celebrate his life knowing not that he died, but that he had lived. He had a terrific life that was happy and fulfilling. He was lucky and fortunate to have you all along with him on his journey and remember he will be watching.
