February 23, 2021 11:47 AMI started working at hill haven during high school and had the pleasure of knowing Gil and all the wonderful people in his life. I’m so grateful for Gil as I would have never had the opportunity to get to know so many lovely people if he and Linda had not opened up hill haven. Gil was always so kind to me, and I’m lucky to have met him. I know he will be missed very much.
