My deepest sympathy to John, Nigel, Simon and Fabby…Mr. Kahn was truly a remarkable and kind man. I will always remember working with him on the Newport Flower Show, where his beautiful entries always won numerous blue ribbons. He will be missed by so many but leaves behind a wonderful legacy. - Shelly Petri

Gilbert was a great friend while he lived in NYC. When he was an interior decorator he would come into my showroom and everyone adored him I saw him again in Florida and he gifted me with a wonderful Shih Tzu. He will be sorely missed by all who know and loved him.

My deepest sympathies to Gilbert's family and friends. I met Gilbert showing dogs and I had just talked to him before Westimister. He said he was going to be ringside for BIS.
Gilbert will be truly missed by all who know and love him.

My deepest sympathy to John and all of the family. Gilbert and I were friends for 40 years. I visited him in Newport in July and spoke to him just three weeks ago about visiting him in Palm Beach next month after the Dog Show in New York. Gilbert was a kind and generous man and always the perfect host. I will miss him.

Our Society enjoyed Gilbert's patronage for some time and, as a result of his generosity, we were able to make provision for our future. He will be missed by so many dog people here in the United Kingdom. I personally had a chat with him during a visit to New York only last week and cherish the short time I was able to spend with him. On behalf of the Officers, Committee & Members of South Eastern Counties Toy Dog Society I would like to send our condolences to Gilbert's family and friends both in the USA and worldwide.

My deepest sympathies to Gilbert's family and friends. I will remember Gilbert with fondness as a great and respected 'dog man'. He awarded me my very first point at a dog show.....and inspired me to continue in the sport.
I will miss him.

I am still a state of shock over his passing - he was a friend who touched so many lives, so many philanthropies, so much in the arts as well as Purebred Dogs. Gilbert is of a generation not easily replaced, nor is that generation likely to be replaced. I am so grateful to be able to say he was my friend .
