Wallace was a beloved, long time friend. I was so shocked and sad to learn of his transition during a time I was out of the country to West Africa. Rest in peace dear friend...

My sincere condolences to the family of Wallace Gossett and Odetta McNeil. I haven't seen Wallace since our days together at Wadleigh J.H.S. He was an impressive teenager and I see he became an outstanding attorney and wonderful man.
Well done my brother.

Deeply saddened by the unexpected loss of my dear friend and fellow "Stuy Guy," Wally. We shared many wonderful meals together, regaling one another about our lives, discussing politics, world affairs, travels and offering advice to each other on dealing with life's adversities and blessings. I will miss him greatly and will hoist a glass of grappa in his memory.
My sincerest condolences to Odette and his family.
