My deepest condolences to Arnold and the family. Gloria was truly a gem and a voice of wisdom for me during my time at PGA. As I remember her today, I can hear one of her favorite songs ("Solid" by Ashford & Simpson). A true testament of character, she was one tough lady! Much love...

Gloria was one of the first people to befriend me at the PGA of America. She was funny, warm, honest, helpful and made going to a place of work, fun. I often think of our talks together and it brings a smile to my face. She always spoke in such a warm and loving way about her family. My condolences to Arnold and her entire family.

So sorry to learn of Gloria's passing. My condolences to Arnold, Iris, Jerrold and Wendy. Gloria was a great friend, co-worker and confidante during my eight years at PGA. As a fellow transplanted New Yorker in Palm Beach Gardens, at the time, she provided a welcome connection between those two worlds.

I had the pleasure of working with Gloria directly for 7 years of her tenure at the PGA of America. She truly defined the expression "Salt of the Earth". Gloria was a good friend, colleague and on occasion a second mother to me keeping a watchful eye on me and helping at every opportunity. I will miss Gloria and will always have warm thoughts of our time together. God Bless You Gloria and Keep You Safe. Your friend, Paul.
