Donald Noble Gill, 86, of Shrewsbury Borough, passed away peacefully Jan. 25, 2022, surrounded by his family.
Raised in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, Don was a star athlete in high school, most notably as the pitcher of the baseball team. After graduating Penn State University, he attended medical school at Temple University, the same institution where his father studied to become a dentist years earlier. It was at Temple that Don met his wife Arlene, with whom he would go on to share his life for almost 60 years.
With his office based in Red Bank, Don felt it a gift to practice medicine and serve his community in this role. Loved for many things, a quick wit and good sense of humor among them, he was mostly known for his kindness. Don believed that hard work was important for a life well lived and he spent his caring for others. While his patients were always at the front of his mind, he was most happy spending time with his family and friends.
Don’s daughters Cheryl, Amy, Allison and Jessica ask that anyone wishing to contribute to a charity in his honor consider the Shrewsbury First Aid or the Monmouth County SPCA.
A service celebrating Don’s life will be held May 7, 2022, at Tower Hill Church in Red Bank. The family will receive guests starting at 10:30 a.m. and the service will begin at 11 a.m.
Thompson Memorial Home of Red Bank has been entrusted with the arrangements.
