Gary Lee Shapiro M.D.

I was blessed to have had Gary in my life for over 50 years. Growing up together, he was my best "guy" friend, who made me laugh and gave me big bear hugs when I was sad. Gary was truly one of the most loving and compassionate people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. My heart is broken. My condolences to his family.Lora,and other dear friends.

In a friendship spanning more than fifty years, I’m so glad we reconnected recently. He was a devoted father and a generous host. I can’t believe he’s gone.

Remembered as a gentle giant in the PU wrestling room. Gary had a quick laugh and the nicest personality. He must have made an exceptional doctor given his easy going manner and huge smile. May God bless and keep his family and friends in their loss.

i was sorry to hear about Dr. Shapiro's passing. my heart goes out to his family and friends. i had been a patient for over 35 years and i credit him for saving my life. we may have batted heads a few times but we had a mutual respect and i trusted him and knew he really cared. may his memory be a blessing.

He is now resting in peace may god be with you and his family you are all in my prays always remember the good times you had with him

I haven't seen Gary for decades, but when I received the shocking news, memories came flooding back. The kindest most nurturing soul, Gary was a big part of my late adolescence. I remember his whole family well. After my car accident he was so attentive. What a wonderful person; a huge loss, I'm sure, to his children, family, friends, and patients.

I last saw Gary at the memorial service of our late mutual friend Richard Schwartz who died in 2015. I knew Gary from junior high school and had not seen him since he left for University School. Gary was, as always, a kind, decent and humble soul and the years melted away as we chatted about our lives past and present. I am so saddened by his passing and wish I had seen him more often under happier circumstances but life sometimes gets in the way of life. Rest In Peace dear soul.

I was so sad to hear of Gary's passing. Gary was the epitome of a wonderful physician. He was caring, intelligent and would always go the extra mile for his patients. He had a wonderful sense of humor and I sought his advice multiple times over the years. My sincerest condolences to Barryanne and the rest of his family.
