On behalf of the Faculty of Engineering at McGill University, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Andrea Gabor. As a graduate from our School of Urban Planning, we share great pride in her accomplishments and mourn her loss. Jim Nicell Dean of Engineering McGill University

The saying the good die young is applicable here. Andrea represented the best of our profession - always focused on doing her best and striving to reach further in her professional work. She believed strongly in advancing our profession and giving back at the local, provincial and national level whether mentoring students and recent graduates or serving on boards and committees. I did not know her well but appreciated the quality of the work she produced and the high bar she set for all of us within the planning field who have crossed her path at one point or another. Condolences to the family and her colleagues. Ian Robertson MCIP, RPP Whitehorse, Yukon

Peter: My sincerest condolences to you and your family on your loss.

I wish to offer my sincere condolences to Andrea's family, for their loss. While I didn't know Andrea well, I had the opportunity to work briefly with her as part of a mid-town campus Master Plan during the time she was the President of the Planners Association. Despite her busy schedule she was a tireless worker and a most enjoyable team leader who clearly had immense experience and talent. I appreciated her charm and warm personality and always hoped to work again with her one day. She was an inspiration.

Dear Peter I was very saddened to hear of Andi's untimely passing. It has been many years since our paths last crossed at McGill and before that when Andi and I were classmates and friends at Mt.Royal High and Algonquin public school. Andi was a warm and friendly person,intelligent and I remember her great smile and wit. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you as you mourn the passing of Andrea. I worked closely with Andrea as we planned the new Casey House; her her dedication to public causes and to building a stronger City was very evident. On a personal note, she was very supportive and lots of fun.

I had the privilege of serving under her on CIP Council and will always think of her consummate professionalism, her innate curiosity about the issues we were managing and the sound of her laughter. Her wise counsel will be sorely missed. My condolences to the loved ones she leaves as her legacy.

Andrea was a wonderful colleague and mentor during my time at Urban Strategies, as she has been for so many others. I will always remember Andrea's warmth and the genuine interest she took in other people. And I have always respected how she could combine intellectual rigour and subject matter expertise with humour and a good nature to build bridges with people and ultimately achieve better outcomes for the communities she worked in. She was a real leader in the planning community, and Im privileged to have had a chance to know her and work with her. My sincere condolences to Andrea's family on your loss.

Steph and Family - I am deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Mom! She had an infectious smile and was such a lovely woman. May your many beautiful memories bring your comfort in the weeks, months and years ahead. My sincerest condolences and love.

Dear Peter, I just learned of Andi's passing. I have such fond memories watching our sons grow up and go through school together. In some ways it feels like yesterday but in actual fact it was a while ago. It is so sad to lose your loving wife and mother when a new phase of life was just beginning with the arrival of your first grandchild. Steve and I send our deepest condolences.

So very sad to learn of Andrea's recent passing. She was a great planner and a lovely person, and will be missed. המקום ינחם אתכם בתוך שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים May the Omnipresent comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

I feel very fortunate to have known Andrea as a friend and a mentor during my time at Urban Strategies and beyond. Andrea's integrity, kindness and joy for life was an important reminder to always be the best person that you can be personally and professionally. As a boss, she had the remarkable ability to be both strong and soft - a rare and admirable trait. Andrea filled our work days with laughter and silliness .... it was a great way to spend the day. Andrea made our endless trips to the UK a fun adventure - filling the time with stories and laughter. Always so much laughter. My condolences to Peter, Brian and Stephanie and the entire family. Andrea was so proud of you all and you helped her to be the amazing and admirable person that she was.

Sad news, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have great memories of Andrea as we worked to regenerate Sheffield's Lower Don Valley in the north of England. It's now part of the Northern Powerhouse and the positive change is a tribute to Andrea's skills and personality. It was a pleasure to spend time with her and those memories will always put a smile on my face, including the size of the suitcase and her colleagues who negotiated the obstacle course of steps on British public transport with her. With love, Tim Wells

I had the great fortune to work for and ultimately alongside Andrea for 25 years. She taught me a great many things but most importantly that you can have an impactful career and amazing family while still making time for great friends. Many people have told me that Andrea made this all look so easy but my experience with her is that it took steely determination wrapped in a sunny disposition and great humanity. Andrea showed by example that you could have all this except sleep! as long you never let obstacles stop you and you always pushed for the best. I will remember her for this always. Peter, Stephanie and Brian – I am so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing lady and you are each a true credit to her.

I did not know Andrea well, but she led us Development Strategies in St. Louis on a consulting team for the greatly satisfying plan for Downtown Charleston, South Carolina. It was a pleasure to work with and learn from her. Urban Strategies is world-class because of her.

I among many can say - she was a mentor to me - and this will be a testament to her open, generous, and committed disposition. Everything she conveyed, including a selfless commitment for city-building, is a legacy that lives on, not just in the projects she lead, but also in the the lives she influenced and who carry on with passion and thoughtfulness. Thank you Andrea. We, I, am better, braver, because of you. Antonio

Dear Peter Brian and Stephanie, Our deepest condolences on your loss, Jay, Neil and Laurel Waterman

So sorry to hear of Andi's passing. I will always remember the Sunday card games for the adults alternating between the Arditis, the Alvos and the Attases not too sure why the Jewish Greek families in TMR all had names starting with A. And the kids would get together and play board games Monotony was a favorite. It was always exciting at the Arditis - as Andi's bedroom was over the dining table where the adults were playing cards. And there was a lovely crystal chandelier above the table, that when we got a little too rambunctious in Andi's room - a very pointy piece of crystal or two would drop and came close to injuring the adults! I managed to see Andi a few times over the years kept moving cities and was so sorry to hear of her decline from Jack. In any case, she is now at peace, and we can but remember her with love.

The world has lost a talented, kind and vibrant person. My deepest sympathy to Peter and his family at this time of sadness.

Dear Peter, David, Kathy, Agnes and families. I am deeply saddened to learn of Andi's passing.

May you be spared further sorrow. With much love,

Dear Peter and family. Wishing you all strength at this sad and difficult time. With deepest sympathy on your great loss.
