Passed away on Friday, April 28th, 2017 at the age of 74, from the effects of Parkinson's Disease. He was born on July 16, 1942 in Honolulu, Hawai'i. He was 3rd generation born in the islands on his mom's side (Irma Moniz). He attended Maryknoll up to his Soph. year (class of 1960). He then attended McKinley briefly, settling at Kalani for his Jr. & Sr. year being the very first graduating class of Kalani H.S. (1961). He married Lisa Morris in 1969 at Ha'iku Gardens. They moved to L.A. in '75 where he remained. He was a true local boy growing up body surfing, eating plate lunches, malasadas & seeds, loving rock & roll and Hawaiian music and leading his own band, playing guitar, ukulele & singing. He was the best rhythm guitarist in Honolulu in his day. He also loved watching football, wearing his slippers & eating Haagen Dazs (coffee or vanilla). He cherished outings with his granddaughter back home & seeing his grandson. Gil was a great, loyal & helpful friend to many, a loving, caring & supportive father, a fun, loving & selfless grandpa "Baba", a sweet uncle, the best big brother, and was very close to his mother. He will be greatly missed! He is survived by his daughter Rayna Bailo, son Brandon (Janice) Bailo, grandchildren Kainani Bailo & Dylan Bailo, sisters Brenda Saul, Laverne "Lovey" (David) Malkin & Judy Bailo, nieces Nicole & Michelle Saul, nephew Barret Hinkley & niece Cortney Kusumoto. His ashes will be scattered at Sandy's where he loved to body surf, as he wished. Condolences may be sent to: Bailo Family, P.O. Box 26082, Honolulu, HI 96825.
