Gary and I were the best of friends during high school and college. We lost touch over the years, no falling out.....just life. I am truly saddened to learn of his passing.

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I met Gary as an adversary at law and what is important to know is that, despite that we were on opposite sides, there are few people that I have met as a lawyer that I have liked better. Gary simply had a way about him of making everyone feel ok about themselves. Please allow me to repeat and reiterate what others have said - Gary was a Mensch, period. It was always a pleasure to see Gary, to catch up on stuff. I know he loved Long Beach Island and looked forward every summer to spending time there with his kids. Please accept my condolences. I will miss him.

I knew Gary for 20 years. He and I were adversaries on many cases and Gary was one of the first defense lawyers I met when I first started practicing. Whenever I had a case with Gary I knew two things: 1) we would have more than a few laughs; and 2) it would all work out; and it always did. I will genuinely miss him, his spirit and his humble style. A consummate gentleman and professional, they don't make them like him anymore. My sincere condolences to his colleagues, friends, family and especially his children who were the light of his life.

I met Gary when I was just 13 (and he was 14). Over the years we fell in and out of touch but I always knew I could count on him as a dear friend. We had many good times and he was so supportive whenever I needed a good listener and even when he had his own difficulties, he was able to laugh and brighten everyone's day. Gary will be greatly missed.

Gary was an absolute exceptional attorney, and an even more exceptional person. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him as a claims representative at The Hartford in the years he was with our defense counsel. I always enjoyed talking about music with Gary as well, as he was a big rock n roll expert. Gary will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

I join with so many others who knew Gary in offering my deepest condolences to his family. I hope that you find comfort in knowing that Gary has touched the lives and hearts of so many. I have worked with Gary over the past 13 years at The Hartford and enjoyed handling many cases together. I always knew things would be okay when Gary was involved. I will miss having him in my life and again wish his family comfort, peace and love during this time of sorrow.

Dear Asher family, I am so sorry for your great loss. A few years ago I spent a day with Gary on a market tour for office space and I will remember him for a lifetime for showing this Midwesterner around NYC. What a great guy!that day and every conversation with him over the years at The Hartford. A man of honor, integrity, intellect, humor, respect ...and I had the privilege to encounter him in my life. I am thankful to have known him. He will be missed.

Although I knew Gary for five years I feel like I have known him forever. He was kind and considerate. He was one of the brightest legal minds I have ever known. He was funny and always ready to discuss music or food. I wish his children and family my sincere condolences. His children were his pride and joy and he could not help but talking about them with great pride. I counted Gary as my friend and will miss him terribly. It was a pleasure having had him in my life.

My deepest sympathy to the Asher family as well as to Gary's friends and colleagues. I have known Gary for more than 20 years and found him to be a kind, humble, and vivacious person, an exceptional litigator who passionately defended his clients, and a colleague who was willing to assist anyone who had legal/personal issues. Gary's keen intellect, wonderful sense of humor, and his broad smile will be sorely missed.

My deepest condolences to Sarah and William and the Asher family on the loss of your father. I worked with Gary on the opposite side of cases and as a colleague at Tobias & Kuhn and will always remember him as a truly kind person who could always make me laugh. He was a real scholar of the law and an excellent, extremely dedicated attorney. I will miss his presence in my life and in the world.
