I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Gosnell through my long friendship with his son James. Mr. Gosnell was one of the warmest, kindest, most genuine people that I have ever known. I will miss him, and know that he will be missed by everyone he knew. I take great comfort in knowing that he passed surrounded by those who loved him most, with dignity and grace, exactly how he strived to live each day. This legacy of kindness, generosity and strength did not die with him; but live on in his art and his family. Furthermore, his life example is one that I treasure as an important influence.</b></font><br><br>
