I met Gil when I joined the Wilson Park Senior Center. He had a great sense of humor and he always made me laugh. I went to visit him in Rehab after he had fallen and did a little dance for him so he could laugh. Gil returned to the Center and he was content to sit in the back and watch everyone; eventually, those visits became too difficult. My sincere sympathy for all his family members. Gil was a very special man with a gift of laughter that he shared with everyone.
