Every memory of Gerald, in Cleveland or New York or Winston-Salem, a happy memory. Adele Silver

Thank you Gerald Freedman! You saw me, you made my dreams come true and I will always miss you and carry you in my heart.

Gerald was a wonderful man, honorable and generous with his talent. I miss him. A gift to Doctors without Borders in his memory for Ukraine.

Farewell Jerry, my Broadway Big Daddy. I've missed your guiding hand ever since.

A good man, a great friend, a towering presence in the theater--you were an inspiration in every way, Gerald. Thinking of you, always, with love, Adele



Our condolences to Gerald's family, friends, and colleagues. Hoping circumstances will permit all to convene soon to celebrate Gerald's life and remarkable career. Wishing everyone the very best in these difficult times.
