As a long time competitor and friend of Gil, I will miss his wit and wisdom. He was good for the industry and to many people along the way. May God bless him and all who new him.

My wife, Jane and I extend our most sincere condolences. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Haroche, but I know of him, and his considerable success, through his sons, Maurice and Andre. While of know of the philanthropy and business success of Mr. Haroche, I would suggest that one of his greatest successes in life is the character he instilled in his sons. There is no greater legacy.
Our deepest sympathy to your entire family from the Holmans.
