The ESAAL Board of Directors and staff express shock and deep sadness over the tragic and sudden loss of Greg Collis and his wife, Pindi Williams. Pindi and Greg will be remembered for their kindness, friendship, and warm and passionate care they gave to residents of their many assisted living homes and their families. They have left a legacy of love and commitment not only to one another, but to everyone they knew or served.
