They, like Neil, took solace and inspiration from the recent comments by the late sportscaster, Stuart Scott, who said, "When you die from cancer, it doesn't mean you lose to cancer, you beat cancer! By how you live, why you live, and by the manner in which you live!"

Also, his brothers Gary and Steve Gilman and families along with 2 grandchildren.
