Our deepest condolences to Gil's family. I am so sorry to learn only now of Gil's passing--a bit of a surprise, as his ability to "just keep on going" had seemed like a given (and was also AMAZING!).
My mother Ruth and I knew Gil well from 888th reunions--we had also known Lillian. Gil was a great Army buddy of my Dad's in WWII, with the special bond I'm sure of both being Jewish, from the Bronx and from Brooklyn. Gil remained a wonderful friend to us since those reunions. We will sorely miss his gentle humor, his kind and caring advice, his genuine friendship.
Gil was SO proud of Alexis! Our best wishes in life to her.
