I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of going to a design workshop that Gary ran. He was so friendly and opened up his studio to the public with open arms to share his craft. He also spoke about how he employed autistic people. What a beautiful soul may his memory be a blessing!

Gary has been such a great boss over the years. The lengths in which he went to make sure the workplace was full of friendship at the end of the day was inspiring to say the least. To have Gary as my boss for the past 10 years has been a privilege. He will be deeply missed but always in our thoughts at GRC.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. My synagogue, Temple Beth-El In Providence, RI has some of your artwork, which is very beautiful, and I'm a lifelong art lover myself. I will always remember you and your contributions to the art world. May your memory be a blessing.

My deepest sympathy. I´m a cousin of Marta´s - my grandmother (Helen Cone) and Carolyn are first cousins. My dad also died from pancreatic cancer. May his memory be a blessing.

My deepest condolences to his entire family. I will always remember seeing The Godfather with him, his brother and future sister-in-law Ileane. And then seeing him decades later in Georgia. Such a great human being.
