We are so sorry for your loss. We remember Gilman as a kind, intelligent, fun, loving happy person. You all were wonderful neighbors to us. Gil actually gave my father his first plane ride ever out of plainville ct many years ago. Sending our deepest condolences to all of you and big hugs to your entire family.
