prominent biloxi couple died of cancer at age 82 years on saturday april 28 2012 in his biloxi home mr gillich and his lounges the golden nugget and dream room were fixtures on biloxi s tourist strip for decades he used to stand in front of his beachfront building in the afternoons and watch traffic pass or sip coffee with friends across the street at krispy kreme doughnuts he also maintained an extensive network of criminal contacts in the dixie mafia a loosely organized band of criminals drawn to the coast by nightclubs and illegal gambling gillich and an imprisoned criminal associate from the dixie mafia planned the murders of former circuit court judge vincent jerome sherry jr 19291987 and his wife former biloxi councilwoman margaret joyce smith sherry 19291987 a professional hitman gunned them down in their home sept 14 1987 the case brought unwanted national publicity to biloxi resulting two books and talk of a featurelength film gillich for years denied any involvement in the murders but he eventually identified the hitman and implicated former biloxi mayor pete halat vincent sherry s best friend in the conspiracy gillich s imprisoned crony dixie mafia kingpin kirksey mccord nix jr wrongly believed that money he sent to the halat sherry law office had been stolen by vincent sherry gillich nix and two others were convicted for their roles in the murder conspiracy in 1991 other conspirators remained free  keith bell then a special agent with the federal bureau of investigation started working on the case in 1989 the fbi and us attorney s office kept the pressure on gillich hauling him back to court on marijuana trafficking and witness tampering charges by 1993 bell said gillich was ready to talk having been an fbi agent for 25 years including being assigned to the san francisco and los angeles offices for about 10 years bell said i know firsthand how very difficult it is for someone involved in criminal activities for a lengthy period of time to suddenly switch positions and cooperate with law enforcement authorities they know as mr gillich knew it meant a total break from his previous life friends and associates there was no turning back for mr gillich s full cooperation with the federal government i as well as all law enforcement authorities involved with the investigation fully appreciate what he did i as well as members of the sherry family am convinced mr gillich fully realized and understood how very wrong he was for his involvement in the murders and that he did and will forever regret his actions  bell said gillich s attorneys chet and gail nicholson of gulfport advised gillich during the legal travails that led him to become a federal witness gillich had been sentenced to 20 years in prison for helping plan the murders when he testified at a 1997 trial against the hitman and halat both of whom were convicted for their roles in the conspiracy the hitman later died in prison halat who served as mayor from 19891993 is scheduled to be released in april 2013 from federal prison in oakdale la according to the bureau of prisons web site us district judge charles pickering sr released gillich from prison after nine years in 2000 based on his cooperation gillich spent his final years living quietly in the hometown he loved chet nicholson eventually recorded a lengthy series of interviews with gillich and his wife frances arguelles partly based on those interviews nicholson wrote a fictional account of criminal exploits on the coast dream room tales of the dixie mafia published in 2009 nicholson said gillich lived a long and very eventful life although he did some things in his lifetime that i know he later came to regret he experienced a religious conversion later in life nicholson said while nobody can know what is in the heart of another person i hope that he was sincere and that he is in a better place  on november 9 2000 mike gillich jr married francis ann salisbury in harrison county mississippi
