As many of you know, Gary Rabin passed away unexpectedly at home in Santa Monica on December 31. While it’s been a long time since many or us have been in touch with Gary (e.g., the photo above is over ten years old), Donna and the family always opened up their homes and hearts. The family’s fortunes have taken a dramatic turn for the worse and we’re setting up this GoFundMe for those of us that worked and played and laughed and cried with them in the past. If you’d like to help Donna and the children, please consider contributing. (All net proceeds will be sent directly to Donna.)
