He was born at Moga to Sardarni and Giani Gurdial Singh, a religious figure of his times. Mr. Gill got his BA. degree from D.M.

After some time his younger brother took up his assignment of agriculture and he joined the Punjab Irrigation Dept. and then shifted to railway as an engineer after getting a degree in Engineering.
He was married to Srimati Mohinder Kaur in 1952.
Gills migrated to U.S.A. in 1969 and joined PG&E electric company as ‘a design and drafting engineer. But the real Gill was found when he pioneered the movement of constructing a Gurdwara in Fremont area. Mr. Gill had been associated with the management of the temple since the beginning of the process of construction.
