Allan and I were so sad to hear the news about Gil's passing but we feel we were privileged that he came into our lives just in the last few years and we got to meet a fine gentle man. He made us laugh with his nice little stories and jokes. So gentle a voice and wonderful smile, very calming. We could feel how he welcomed us as new found family and we will always be grateful to him for that. All our love Gil. and our sincere condolences to Helen and all the family. God Bless.
