Not sure what to say?

Gerry was a remarkable person -- brilliant scientist, full of energy and enthusiasm, original thinker, and always a joy and delight to talk with. Gerry and Naomi have been close friends of John and me (Neta), they welcomed us warmly to Caltech in the 1960's, and remained friends throughout. We lost an exceptional person, one of the great ones of our time. Gerry will be sorely missed.
