Gil lived a remarkable and deeply meaningful life marked by curiosity, adventure, service, and love. Strong yet gentle, brilliant yet humble, he touched countless lives through his warmth, generosity, and genuine care for others. He had a rare gift for leaving every person, every place, and every life experience better than he found it.

 A true Renaissance man, Gil embraced life fully. He was a world traveler, avid sailor, master gardener, competitive Scrabble player, and lifelong student of the world around him. He found great joy in nature and remained connected to it throughout his life—tending his beautiful gardens and beloved fishpond until just three weeks before his passing.

 Gil was also a cancer survivor whose resilience, determination, and appreciation for life reflected the strength of his character. He faced challenges with courage and continued to live with optimism, purpose, and gratitude.

 Gil graduated from Virginia Tech and later earned a master’s degree in Horticulture from Cornell University. Although his education began in the natural sciences, life took an unexpected turn after he met and married the love of his early life, Roberta Binder. Together they built a family and shared many years before her passing 22 years ago. Her memory remained an enduring part of his life.

 Professionally, Gil built a successful career in insurance and estate planning, helping individuals and families prepare thoughtfully for the future. Beyond his professional accomplishments, he dedicated himself to serving others through volunteer work with Jewish Family Service, where he played an instrumental role in establishing the Personal Affairs Management Program (PAM). The program became recognized as a Model Program by the Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging and continues to support individuals and families today. Gil did not simply participate in his community—he helped shape it.

 Gil was one of life’s fortunate souls who experienced true love twice.

 In his later years, he found deep companionship and joy with his beloved life partner, Sylvia Kaplan. Together they built a beautiful, blended family filled with laughter, love, and shared adventures.  They were so connected that they were fondly referred to as ‘Gilva’ (Gil+Sylvia).

 Gil is survived by Sylvia Kaplan and her daughters, Lisa Stern and Bonnie Sterling, along with their spouses, children, and grandchildren.

 He is also survived by his daughters, Dr. Lisa Barr and her life partner Kelly Hayes of Virginia Beach, and Dr. Shelley Binder and her husband Mark Knebusch of Knoxville, Tenn.; his granddaughter Becca Barr of Virginia Beach; and his grandson Josh Barr and his wife Felice Herman of Fairfax, Va. and his step granddaughters Tamsin and Sara Keh.

 His Coast Guard adventures, sailing stories, travels, gardens, and legendary Scrabble matches will continue to live on through family gatherings and cherished memories for generations to come.

 Gil’s greatest accomplishment was not found in titles or achievements, but in the love he gave, the lives he enriched, and the example he set.

 His memory will remain indelibly etched in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved him.

Donations in Gil’s memory may be made to Jewish Family Service of Tidewater or the Norfolk Botanical Garden.  There will not be a formal funeral.  A Celebration of Life will be planned in the future.

 Fair winds and following seas, Gil.

 You were deeply loved and will be deeply missed.

 Born on October 26, 1961, in Brooklyn, New York, to Theodore and Shirley (Katz) Perrone, Randi carried the spirit of her beginnings throughout her life, meeting the world with adventure, compassion, and an open heart.

 After moving to Virginia Beach, Randi worked in her father’s many Italian restaurants, where she developed her remarkable talent and love for cooking. Following her graduation from Kellam High School, she attended James Madison University and earned a bachelor’s degree in political science.

 Always embracing new adventures, Randi began a career as a flight attendant with People’s Express Airlines in the late 1980s. Her passion for travel and connecting with others led her to continue flying all over the world with Continental Airlines and later United Airlines, where she worked until her retirement in the late 2000s. She loved exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and sharing stories from her travels with family and friends. Her years in the airline industry perfectly reflected her adventurous spirit and her love of meeting people from all walks of life.

 Randi lived a life marked by deep love for her family and a genuine interest in people. One of her greatest gifts was her ability to make others feel welcomed, valued, and appreciated. 

 She is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, Gary Kerfoot, whose partnership and devotion stand as a testament to enduring love and commitment. She also leaves behind her four daughters, Morgan (Brody) Giger, Tyler Kerfoot, Madison Kerfoot (Ryan Kroft), and Raegan Kerfoot (Zach Kurtz), who were the pride and joy of her life. Above all else, Randi was devoted to her family.

 In addition to her children, Randi was a cherished grandmother of five: Hudson (12), Sawyer (11), Addison (8), Stetson (7), and Teddi (6), with a sixth grandchild expected in just a few months. She treasured each of them deeply. The love she shared with her grandchildren will remain a lasting part of their lives and live on through the memories they will forever hold dear.

 Randi also shared a loving relationship with Karson Benton (12), and other close relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Theodore and Shirley (Katz) Perrone, and is survived by her brother, Michael Perrone, and nephew, Joseph Spencer.

 Per her request, cremation took place and no services or memorial gathering will be held.

 She was born in Detroit Michigan and was the daughter of the late Louis Ackman and Dorothy Lese. She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Gary A. Parro; step-children, Dale Parro, Katrina Pentz, and Jennifer Parro; and her two daughters, Larissa Keiper and Daria Allen. She is also survived by her last sibling, Mitzi and her husband Michael Ashe, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren, as well as extended family members including nieces, nephews, cousins, and good friends.

 Janice was the kind of person who made people feel welcome, cared for, and loved. She truly didn’t have a mean bone in her body. Her warmth, compassion, and gentle spirit were evident in every conversation, every act of kindness, and every relationship she built throughout her life.

 She leaves behind a family who loved her deeply and will carry her memory forward every day, including her children Sharon Kuttner, Gary Zivitz and his wife Sherrie, and Mark Zivitz; her cherished grandchildren Jonathan Kuttner, Sam Kuttner, and Zachary Zivitz; her son-in-law Jacob Kuttner; her significant other David Hirsch; her beloved sisters Nancy Kanter and Betty Delman; along with lifelong friends who became family over the years.

 Janice’s legacy is found not only in the family she raised and loved so deeply, but in the countless lives she touched with her generosity, empathy, and unwavering kindness. She had a remarkable ability to bring comfort, laughter, and light to those around her.

 Though she will be profoundly missed, the love she gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. Her memory will remain a blessing to her family and friends forever.
