MICHAEL GELLERT Obituary

GELLERT--Michael. The Board of Trustees and staff of Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, New York mourn the loss of Michael E. Gellert, who served on Caramoor's Board of Trustees from 1970 until his passing. As former Chairman of the Board, Mr. Gellert's leadership and counsel helped steward Caramoor for much of our history. Always a true gentleman, we will miss his warm smile, the twinkle in his eye, and generous spirit. We extend our deepest sympathies to his beloved wife Mary and their family.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Amos and I send deep sympathy to Mary Gellert and all of the family at this time of loss of Michael. He was, indeed, a very special man, whose intelligence, values, generosity, and sparkling wit leave many of us with wonderful memories. May his memory remain a blessing.
