Not sure what to say?

What a character Gaeton was! I'll always remember his story about swimming in the river (the Hudson?) with all the flotsam and jetsam floating alongside him. And at this time in particular, Jean, I'm thinking of you. Still treasure our friendship, our time together as new mothers. Hope you and Christina are doing very well!

Dear Jean,
Gaeton always had a smile on his face. I am glad to have known him....and you, too dear Jean. Hope you are well. Blessings, Susan Vanderbilt Campbell

Gaeton would have had a lot to say about this pandemic and the political craziness. At least he didn't have to endure these challenging times. Nevertheless we miss him.

Here's to Gaeton Lauri, a forthright personality with a lively and curious mind. It was a privilege to know him.

Jean...we're doing a little memoriam piece on Gaeton in our
upcoming CATSCENE newsletter. He will definitely be missed
by all. Hope you're well.....John Wagner.

To Jean and family:
No words can express the loss you feel right now and hope you find comfort in the support of your family and friends. I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one.
Melinny Weyland (and Steve Zalutsky)

Dear Jean and Christina,
May the wonderful memories of Geaton help you through these most difficult times.

Our prayers are with you.

Jean --

I have so many fond memories of Gaeton. As you know, he, John Ryan, and I spent many, many hours serving our Amoco Oil marketing clients. Despite the sometimes very challenging deadlines and expections (and last-minute changes), he always did whatever it took to get the job done. That's because he was a talented professional who earned the respect of those clients and his P&GA/Graphic Arts peers.

We talked a lot over those Amoco years, so I know how much you...

I'm not sure I found out in time to make the guest book. Gaeton was a major Character in my life. As I was president of CATS for a number of years, he was a person with whom I could fall back. His sense of humor and his knowledge helped me hurdle our problems and future decisions. I would have liked to work with him in the business world. Gaeton will be missed.He left us too soon.
