Gilli is still alive. He is living in SF last I read and is outside of porn. Painting "ART" pictures or somesuch. I wish his dirty ass was still in porn because he was twisted in a way Khan Tusion and Max Hardcore wish they could be.
Credit to the meathole assholes- I read an interview where Khan credits the old Gillis "On The Prowls" as inspiration for his midnight prowl series.
