He was wearing both of his cell phones, and then he gave me his home phone number. I said, ‘Anyone with two cell phones is never at home.’”

Speaking of how he proposed to his wife, Gillum said, “There was this one place, Larson Family (Winery), where you could horseback ride through the vineyard. So I convinced her that we were going to go here and take a horseback ride. The guy (was) there in advance and had set up a table and two chairs with some wine out in the vineyard. The horses were so familiar with a certain route that when they got out there and saw the tablecloths, the horses freaked out.”
At that, point, R. Jai realized what was going on. Gillum said, “I got down on one knee and asked her if she would be my life partner. She said yes.”
