Not sure what to say?

Dr. Gully, thank you for the amazing memories you and Anne gave me from Italy. No one has impacted my artistic journey more than you. I fondly remember the private weekend escapades including the amazing first century church and murals in Ravenna. Your made no small impact in my, and I am sure many others, lives. Thank you, kind sir!

I was thinking of Tony today and "Googled" him. Sadly I found he had recently passed. He was a beloved friend and professor at ASU, memories I still value. He opened my mind and heart. My heartfelt sympathies to all who felt his presence.

To Anne and the girls,
My thoughts are with you as I learn of the passing of your beloved husband and father. A powerful professor, his impact on my career path was profound, but I also remember fondly gatherings at your home and meeting all of you as children. My condolences to you all.

My condolences to Anne and the family. Tony was always such a kind and interesting individual. I was always happy to run into him ( once in Heathrow as we headed in different directions!) and have a chat— always with some smiles and laughs.

Anne and family...So many wonderful memories and special moments. Tony could bring a picture to life, and hold everyone in a rhapsodic state for the entirety of class. Never an easy feat! My best educational experiences at ASU were always with him as professor. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.

Dr. Gully was by far one of my most cherished professors at ASU in the late 80's. Although I focused on Ancient Art History, his research methods course changed my approach to scholarship. I especially enjoyed his teaching on French Revolutionary painting history. He was an exceptionally gifted teacher and mentor. I was fortunate enough to be invited to his home for dinner parties and exchange of ideas. His kindness and humilty will never be forgotten. RIP.

I am so sad to see this today. I am thinking you, Anne, and the girls and sending love to all.
