Family Runs To Lurie Children's Hospital For Help After Being Carjacked In Streeterville“It goes way back, of course, to when he was a kid – 5 years old – he lost his mother. And so that’s when he first got the idea of providing comfort to families that have lost loved ones,” said Gatling’s widow, Marguerite Gatling.

He sang with the Christland Singers. He sung his way into my life. We did meet singing, and we developed a relationship, so history speaks for itself.”His services will be held Jan. 9 at the Gatling’s Chapel he built at 10133 S. Halsted St.
