Sad News: Gary Halbert Passes Away
Very sad news indeed. If you haven’t heard, it’s true. Gary Halbert passed away peacefully in his sleep on Easter Sunday.
While I never had the pleasure of personally meeting Gary, he’s had a tremendous influence on me and my marketing education.
If it wasn’t for Gary, I wouldn’t have written my first direct mail letter and sold my first mail order product 15 years ago.
My condolences go out to his family and friends, and to you, if you knew him well.
If you haven’t already one so, I invite you to share your insights and thoughts about Gary at Michel Fortin’s Copywriter’s Board, where a thread has been started about Gary.
