Hard to put into words, the great memories and fun times spent with Gil. His confidence and laughter were infectious. When you were with him you had to live life to it's fullest, because he didn't give you a choice. What a talent and good friend, who I will miss very much! God Speed My Good Friend!

We were so saddened to hear of Don's passing. His restaurant is one of our favorites; and, when he was there, he never failed to make us feel at home. He will be missed.
