I have been travelling and did not know about Dr. Gildenberg's passing away.  He was a kind and gentle person with a fantastic sense of humor. He was also a world class dentist. Dr. Gildenberg, you are missed greatly by me and the Baum family. With love, your friend Bob Baum.

Estelle, Lisa, and Lauren, I was very sorry to hear of your loss. It has been years since our paths have crossed, but I have not forgotten you. Cherish your memories, and your husband/dad will live forever in your hearts. He was such a nice employer to work for.

Estelle, Please except my deepest sympathy.  As you know I was a patient of Gerry's for many years.  It may seem odd to look forward to going to the dentist's office but I always did.  We had some great conversations and many laughs.  I am so sad to hear of Gerry's passing.  He was talented in many ways as well as very personable.
I will always remember him.  
God bless him, you and your family.
Rick

Estelle:  So sorry to hear about Gerry's passing.  His humor and light touch made him the best dentist I ever went to and I went to a lot!  And he was such a terrific husband to you!  My prayers are with you.

I just learned about the passing of Dr. gildenberg this morning through Dr. Paula Friedman.  I had the pleasure of traveling with Gerry in a dental mission of People to People Int. to Russia (St. Petersburg) and Poland (Warsaw) under the leadership of Dr. Friedman, few years back.  Gerry's joviality and good disposition always will stay in my mind when we visited Universities, dental schools and clinics, and specially synagogues.  I know that his family was his pride and joy, as so was his music and his profession.
May the Almighty provide ways to ease the sorrows of his departure. Baruch Dayan Emet.
