I remember meeting Gil just before Laurie and Ed's wedding. I met the entire family at that time! He was a great person and fun to be around. We send our sincerest sympathies to the entire Levy family and the extended family. Our hearts go out to you.
Much love,
Marcy and Michael Kennelly

Gil joined out Brotherhood, Men Enjoying Leisure, in its first year, 2001. He contributed his insights, talked about his travels, shared his knowledge of technology, sang in our Meltones, and was one of our brightest members. He walked and talked on our Tuesday morning ventures to the Botanic Garden, one of his favorite places. I will always remember his cheerful and friendly greeting, in his raspy voice " Hello Bill." To all his "Brothers", Gil was a Mench.
Our sympathies to Marliss and all the family, The Memory of a Good Man Is a Blessing. Bill Gurolnick & all his MEL buddies.
