He grew up in Queens, NY and White Meadow Lake, NJ and later went to Emerson College and led a very successful career in radio broadcasting.

Gary was known for his sense of humor, his style, and his generosity. He loved Bruce Springstein, the beach, and his three kids. He spent much of his time embracing life. He would say “I could never just stay home at my apartment, because when you walk outside, that’s when things happen”. To his kids, he was their rock. He was an iconic legend. He introduced his children to music, his Jewish culture, and knowing exactly what to say at the right time.

He is survived by his mother Lila Krantz, his brothers Scott and Mark Krantz, his children Michael, Jane, and Jacqueline Krantz who will continue to honor his legacy.

The family would like to express their gratitude for their support during this difficult time. As Gary would tell his three kids, “don’t be so hard on yourself, the world does a good job at

doing that anyway”.
