We're limiting visits to the immediate family, partly because he has NO immune system at this moment and want to limit his exposure to the normal flora and fauna that cover us all. And he doesn't have the energy.
Calls are somewhat the same thing. He isn't really able to speak, and today "under the influence" he was speaking but slurring and hard to understand, not making great sense.
So, for the multitudes of you who love him and want him to know that or any other specific memory, the first step is email me at piperkath@gmail.com and I'll read your message when he can take it in. If a phone call seems possible we'll give you a phone # and a specific time, but honestly, that will be really rare. He just doesn't have it to give.
I'll leave you with the highlight of the day, his singing along to Finnian's Rainbow and being playful with Chris. I hope we get another great day tomorrow.

Thanks Kathleen,
For 3 updates today. That speaks volumes for your spirit!
We understand about the visiting; hence the question.
It is true that a lifetime is a series of moments and it's good to see that amidst the anguish there are many good moments to savor and log away for future reflection.
Let us knowif you need anything.

Gil is in our daily thoughts, He is such a wonderful person and friend. Working with Gil was so enjoyable and memorable. Please give our "sweet Gilly" a hug from the Webers and Vicki Endres. Fond memories of Gil in his Superman Costume. The retirement gathering with the guys singing the "Lumberjack song" brings a smile to our faces. Love you, Gil
Thanks for the updates, Kathleen. Nick and Sue Weber Vicki Endres
