Not sure what to say?

May your memory be for a blessing!

Gil and I worked together designing SYBERITE, the Matterhorn Club's travel brochures, for as long as I can remember.
Even though I was supposed to be the creative one, Gil was a talented and innovative collaborator and I wouldn't have been able to do the job without his input.
He was a mild mannered and generous guy and I will always remember him with fondness and affection.

Gil was an amazing colleague and a wonderful friend. Intelligent, smart, caring. Always cheerful. He had an outstanding sense of humor. Gil was also an avid traveler. One could never get bored being next to him. And even now I can only remember him with smile. Gil will be missed, and his niche in my life can never be replaced with anyone else.

Always a warm and compassionate educator

Gil was a wonderful, fascinating, and inspirational man. I continue to be grateful to Gil, he was a very special colleague for me at Brooklyn Friends School. Our conversations were always too brief, and each one left me wishing for a few more awed minutes with him. My deepest sympathies are with Gil's family and friends. I know Gil lives on in those he touched, even slightly, and his gifts are forever shared anew with others by all.

Gil was one of the most gentle and kind colleague with whom I have ever worked. May He Rest In Peace! I am keeping his family in the LIGHT!

Gil was a second father to me and to my brothers, growing up. Throughout our lives, he showed all of us his love and generosity on countless occasions, and made our lives better as a result. As I got older, I appreciated Gil even more, as I got to know him as an adult. Gil will forever be in our hearts. Our memory of him will always shine brightly!

A wonderful, gentle, and generous man who was my favorite "Boss" ... but more than that a great friend. My love and thoughts are wiith you Jane and all the family.

Renaissance man describes him so well, and we will miss his open, welcoming cheerfulness !
