Gary,
I will miss your witty charm and delightful repartee especially at the many Metropolitan Museum benefit events. You certainly spiced up and made many of those boring evenings exciting. You epitomized and lived the true meaning of the word gentleman. You will forever be missed.

Dearest Gary was, indeed, the most Bon Vivant. The light, joy and laughter he graciously gave to all of us leaves a great void. He was, is, very much loved and very much missed.

How impersonal the computer. Difficult
to express my feelings of personal loss
via a machine. Gary would agree. But
a word to his family - he was loved.
