Paul Nathan Gill, age 102, a life-long resident of Elwood, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at his residence. Paul was born in Tipton County on September 6, 1918, to the late Leo and Lottie (Sanders) Gill. Paul graduated from Elwood High School in 1936. On December 28, 1946, he married Peggy (Whitaker) Gill and they shared 74 years of marriage together.
Paul served his country in the US Army and Air Force where he taught Morse code. He was a World War II veteran. During his time in the war, Paul relied on his faith to pull him through many difficult days and saw God work many miracles.
Paul retired in 1986, from Delco Remy after 35 plus years of service. He was a founding member and board member of the United Pentecostal Church of Elwood (now Apostolic Lighthouse). He served his church in many capacities throughout his life.
He enjoyed working in his yard, gardening, painting, and riding his bike. At the age of 90, he rode his bike from his church to Alexandria and back. He liked to talk about his days in the army and share testimonies about the Word of God and the many miracles that God had done in his life. He was also quite the jokester at times. More than anything he was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and will be sadly missed.
