Brian Gratch

I didn't know Brian well -- our last interaction would have been about 40 years ago -- but heard a few years ago he had passed and was saddened. I just happened on this site and feel compelled to say that -- though, as I said, I didn't know him well -- he made a distinct impression on me as a very generous and warm and open person. Enough that, all these years/decades later I feel sad again. Gautam Ghosh

I just yesterday by chance learned of Brian's passing, and now, having read the obituary here, learning so much about him that I didn't previously know, I'm especially saddened by his death, particularly because of its impact on what sounds to have been such a wonderful family.

What a wonderful tribute to Brian, a man I truly adored. His spirit is something that will carry on to all who knew him. His life should be a model of humanity for all of us.

I am so heartbroken to write these words to the family of Brian Gratch. I was out of town and missed the news of Brian's passing.
I'm holding Brian's business card in my hand with such sadness. I ran into Brian at an industry event in the spring. We were delighted to re-connect. Brian immediately told me that he would pass on greetings to his mother on my behalf. That was Brian... always making the human connection with joy and a smile on his face.
May his memory be a blessing and...

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your love one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.
