Luis,

Gary Ouellet spoiled me. I grew up watching all of the TV specials that had his name listed in the credits, and I don't know anyone who's done it better. Whether through trial and error or intuitiveness, he seemed to know what the audience wanted and how to give it to them. He made everyone look good.
Other performers have said how much he taught them. I know you worked with him and were his friend. Would you mind sharing a few thoughts on his influence?

Thank you

Michael J.

Back in the 2002 I wrote:

"Directly or indirectly Gary influenced the life of more people than many would realise. Gary was a gift. So many talents, so much knowledge. A great magician, director, producer, composer, writer and designer but above all, Gary was a great man. He will always live in the hearts of those who really knew who he was. Let us always deserve the respect he had for us."

Thanks for raising up his name.
