We enjoyed the hospitality of Denis and Karen on our visits to PEI with our son and daughter-in-law James and Laura. We always looked forward to his informed opinion on world affairs. We will miss him.

I worked closely with Denis Marantz at Global Affairs Canada and at the UN in New York and Geneva. He was a wonderful colleague - informed, collegial, humorous and erudite. I remember him fondly as a gentleman with a broad range of knowledge on subjects ranging from the esoteric to the profound.

Liza and I extend our deepest sympathies to Karen and other family members.
