�Gilberto Ferr:iz of Springfield, Illinois,
died at his home on Thursday, May 6,
1993, of complications associated with
AIDS, according LO his life partner,
Patrick Baikauskas, also of Springfield.
He died on hi s 32nd birthday .
Fcrraz was born in Sao Paolo, Brazil
and raised on his family's farm in Garca,
Brazil. In 1977 he studied English at
Cambridge, England. He moved in the
late 1970s to the United States after the
divorce of his parents, settling with his
mother in :lvliarni, Fla., where he completed his secondary education.
Ferraz attended Dade County Community College for two years and was
accepted at the ·Boston Architectural Center in Boston, :\1ass., where he received a
degree in architecture. After graduating in
1986 he worked for the internationally
known architectural firm of Cambridge
Seven in Boston.
Ferraz returned to Miami in 1989 and
worked as an instructor in architecture
and design at Dade County Community
College.
"As a teacher, Gilberto found a real
love and his students quickly found in
their young teacher an inspiration and
mentor and were injected with his love
for design and his constant support for ·
their work," Baikauskas said.
Ferraz met Baikauskas, his partner for
life, in Miami in 1990. In June of the
same year he moved to Washington , D.C.
and worked as an administrative assistant
for the Green Cross Clinic and later as an
administrative assistant.and translator for
the Center for Natural and Traditional
Medicine (CNTM), an organization dedicated to find ing natural medicines and
procedures to combat AIDS. Ferraz represented CNTM at the 1992 International
AIDS Conference in Amsterdam.
He worked for CNTM until his health
problems forced him to give up his
position. Baikauskas changed jobs at that
time and they both moved to Baltimore,
Md., where Ferraz was able to pursue his
love of art. He had one showing of his
drawings at the Baltimore Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects (AIA)
and studied painting at Towson State
University.
Baikauskas changed jobs again
March of 1993 and Ferraz moved w,
him to Springfield, Ill., where he spe
his final weeks.
"There are many things for whit
Gilberto can be remembered, but chi
among them will be his gentle spirit, l·
courage and faith, his charm and u
failing kindness to all he met," sa
Baikauskas.
In addition to Baikauskas, Ferraz
survived by his father, Marcello Ferraz
Sao Paolo; his mother, Josephine Ferr
of :rvliami; a sister, Christina Ferraz:

Roger Forsythe, head designer for
the Perry Ellis Group, the men's wear
company, died on Sunday at New York
University Medical Center. He was 36
years old and lived in Manhattan.
He died of lymphatic cancer, a company spokesman said.
Mr. Forsythe, who was born in Missouri and raised in Texas, was recruited by the group in 1988 as vice president and men's design director. His
assignment was to restore -the humor
and verve in sportswear that had characterized the originals of Perry Ellis. .
Mr. Forsythe's design direction
proved so successful, the company
said, that its sales of men's wear had
soared from a yearly rate of $15 million
to more than $100 million since his
arrival. Revenues for Perry Ellis a
division of the Salant Corporation, had
slumped after Mr. EJlis's death in 1986.
Mr. Forsythe earned a business degree from the University of Houston
and then moved to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City,
where he graduated with an associate
degree in applied sciences, specializing
in men's wear, in 1982. He worked for
Jean Paul Germaine, Kenneth Gordon
and D. D. Dominick, and was director
of men's, women's and children's
sportswear collections at Basic Elements before he joined the Ellis Group.
His companion was Peter Fressola
of Manhattan.
Mr. Forsythe is survived by his fa• )
ther, John, of ~ ..t two brothers
Bill, of Des Moiaes, 811d Brad. of Hous~
ton.

James Ford, a sculptor and print
maker, died on Tuesday at his home in
Manhattan. He was 45 years old.
He died of ArDS, said his companion,
Peter Reed.
Mr. Ford was known for austere
sculptures that made use of a wide
range of materials: glass, water, steel
and copper. Recently, he had produced
monumental works that related to his
struggle with AIDS, using images
drawn from laboratory equipment.
Over the last few years, he did a number of sculptures for public spaces,
including a Veterans Memorial Fountain for Columbus, Ohio, and a Veterans Memorial Plaza for Winston-Salem, N.C.
A master print maker, he was inclu.
ed in a large 1990 survey called "
Unique Print" at the Museum of F
Arts in Boston. He also designed •
number of sets for dance groups,
eluding the Contemporary Ba1
headed by Mr. Reed, and the N
Wiener Dance Company.
Mr. Ford was born in Yuma, Ariz. He
graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1960 and
received a Master of Fine Arts degree
there in 197'2.
He is survived by his parents, Clara

�Kevin Flynn died early Monday morning, Nov. 10, at Mtmachuseus General
Hospital as a result of AIDS. He is sorely
missed by many friends and relatives.
Kevin was 31 years old and had lived in
Boston for the last 12 years. Most recently, he lived in Dorchester and prior to
that, the South End. He was born and
spent his childhood in Brockton, where he
attended the Brockton Public School System. Kevin was a partner in the auto body
repair shop, Bodyworks. He had worked
for a time as a sous chef at the Four
Seasons Hotel,andasa waiter atAppley's
in the Sheraton. In the last couple of years,
he had devoted his considerable energy
and talents to AIDS activism. He was a
memberofthe AIDS Coalition to Unleash
Power (ACT UP/Boston). He planned,
attended and got arrested at several ACT
UP demonstrations.
Kevin was a warm, highly intelligent
and extremely perceptive person. He understood people and he understood loss.
He had a wonderful sense of humor. He
was kind and loving, but could wield a
razor-sharp wit.
He was an accomplished musician,
writer and poet, and a truly excellent cook.
He knew the difference between rosemary and dill, which was a distinction that
escaped some of his friends. He could
whip up a five-star meal on very short
notice.
Kevin 's passing leaves a hole in the

help. As his work's
reputation grew, he occu pied the storefront space at 1772 Market St .. the subsequent site of two restaurants, Brad Forrest (1985)

Barbara Fass binder Dies at 40;
Nurse With AIDS Traced to Jo
~-~-e,,y
By TIM HILCHEY
Barbara Fassbinder, one of the
first health care professionals to be
infected with the AIDS virus while
on the job, died on Tuesday at the
University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics in Iowa City. She was 40 and
lived in Monona, Iowa.
The cause was complications from
AIDS, the hospital said.
Mrs. Fassbinder was infected with
H.I.V., the .v irus that causes AIDS, in
1986 while helping treat a patient in
the emergency room of Memorial
Hospital in Prairie du Chien, Wis.
While she was pressing gauze on a
needle puncture, the patient's blood
apparently mingled with her blood
through small cuts on her hand from
gardening, she said in 1990. The
young man died, and an autopsy
showed he had AIDS. But it was not
until January 1987, when she tried to
make a blood donation, that she discovered she had been infected.
She and her family kept the infection a secret until she decided to
speak out in 1990. "My biggest fear
was how the community would react
to me and my kids and my husband," she said at a news conference
in Iowa City in which she told her
story in the hope that It would warn
other health-care workers. The 1,500
people of Monona, a farming community in northeastern Iowa, gave
her family "nothing but support,"
she said at the time.
"She was a gentle giant in the
world of AIDS," said Dr. Michael
Osterholm, an AIDS expert and epidemiologist with the Minnesota Department of Health who became a
friend of her family. "She helped
bridge the gap between the worlds of
the health care provider and the
AIDS patient in need of competent
and compassionate care like no one
else could."
Mrs. Fassbinder traveled extensively in the next few years, talking
to people about AIDS and how to
prevent infection by H.I.V., Dr. Osterholm said. She · testified about
AIDS before Congress, and in 1992
she was recognized by the Surgeon
General and the Department of
Health and Human Services for her
work.
She also served on the National
Health care Reform ·committee set
up by HiUary Rodham Clinton and
was a member of the Iowa State
F~~C~~~

Barbara A. Herring Fassbin
was born Sept. 29, 1953, In Mar
Iowa. She received a bachelor
science degree in nursing from the
University of Iowa in 1975.
She is survived by her husband,
David; two daughters, Eva and Emily, and a son, Joel, all of Monona; her
parents, James and Ethel Herring,

Of course, I was here for five weeks last year
when he was on life support and in a coma,
from which he made an amazing recovery, but
he just slipped away from us a week ago.
I cannot believe all the kindness and hospitality my younger son and I have received. God

�Richard Frank, 42
Actor in theater, TV
LOS ANGELES - Richard
Frank, a critically acclaimed stage
actor who achieved his greatest popularity as Jules Bennett on the television series "Anything but Love,"
died Sunday of complications of
AIDS. He was 42.
Mr. Frank, who usually portrayed gay roles, was a versatile actor equally comfortable with Shakespeare and modern works. He
earned praise for his performance as
attorney Roy Cohn in the landmark
play "Angels in America - Millennium Approaches" at the Mark Taper
Forum in Los Angeles.
He earned the 1991 Los Angeles
Drama Critics Circle Award for his
pe1formance as the homosexual window dresser Molina in "Kiss of the
Spider Woman" at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa. He had also
performed the role to good East
Coast reviews in 1988 at the Yale
Repertory Theatre in New Haven.
Earlier this year, Mr. Frank had
played a bisexual theater director in
the national touring production of
''The Sisters Rosensweig."
When "Sisters" was presented in
his hometown of Boston, Mr. Frank
was asked if he ever worried about
forgetting lines on stage.
"That's the biggest theater myth
of all," he replied. "The lines are
·· learned during rehearsal. What con. cerns you is losing focus. You need
to keep concentrated."
Although he considered theater
the purest form of acting, Mr. Frank
also appeared in films, most notably
as Salieri's confessor in "Amadeus"
in 1985, and on TV.
Let me introduce you to Carlos
Ferreira, one of your neighbors, born
Nov. 4, 1964 in Brazil, youngest of 11
children of Marni Amelia, grandmother
of 27 and great grandmother of six babies Carlos had never seen or held in his
arms. Eight and one-half years ago Carlos
came to America, pursued his happiness, loved life, his family and friends,
loved liberty, loved his adopted country, and his unshaken belief in the tarnished American dream made him more
American than I, even though he didn't
have the papers to prove it.
When I first saw him I thought he was
too short for his pants, but his eyes were
dark and beautiful. He spoke no English
then and I only a little Spanish, but he
was sweet and charming and funny, and
he had the patience of a mule. He was the
bravest and most stubborn man I have
ever met, contrary, opinionated, selfeducated, sharp, and those dimples. Call
it what you will. We called it love for
eight years.
You don't ask a dying man to move
out of his home. At the very leasf it is
very rude. When Carlos was at the final
stage of his illness, AIDS, housebound
and fully disabled, he spoke out publicly
against the shameful threatened collapse,
with a push and a shove, of rent control
without adequate protections for low
and moderate income people. He asked

if people here had a heart. He thought
such behavior was unacceptable to any
notion of basic human decency and
dignity. And he thought it important
enough to speak up for those who might
be unable to speak up for themselves.
A week and a half before Carlos died
he held onto our kitchen window and
shouted out to you, " I love you. I love
you all. I love everyone and everything.
I really do!" This is what I believe he
would want me to say.

�Tuck Finn Dies at 50
by Kent Brandley
One of the founders of the
Shades Project fundraising program to benefit the AIDS Emergency Fund. Tucker Finn, died
November 28 from AIDS complications. '(?
Born May 24, 1945 in Columbus, Ohio, Finn came to California
in 1950. He was a Vietnam Veteran and talented designer, but many
other aspects of his life remain an
enigma today, even to his closest
friends. Even his name was his
own invention.
He lived out the last years of
his life at Peter Claver House, a
Catholic Charities residence for
people with AIDS, and was instrumental in establishing and maintaining a unique rose garden there.
Lee Bossen, Finn's significant
other for the last seven months,
told the B.A. R. that Finn had
promised him the roses at the garden would bloom for Christmas,
and they did.
"Nature was his mainstay - his
real love of life," Bossen said.
"His real love was the rose garden."
Finn built the soil with mulch
and chicken manure he carted to
the facility on a regular and dedicated basis. He was also fond of
birds and hung hummingbird
feeders within the rose garden.
"He had a particular affection
for hummingbirds," Bossen recalled.
Finn also had an affection for
South of Market bars, and was a

Bill Ferranti, a devoted member
of the AIDS Action staff from
1986to 1989, died in New York
City on September 5, 1996, from
complications related to AIDS.
Bill's passion fo r helping those
with AIDS and his avid involvement with the Boston
Frontrunners, a gay and lesbian
running group, led to the
creation of the Yuletide Stride, an
event which has become his most
enduring legacy.
The annual holiday run, the
biggest fundraiser for the 150
members of Frontrunners,
continues to generate funds for
the holiday gift basket program

and former Republican staff direc tor of the
Hou se Gov ernment Operations
Committee, died
Saturday, August
31, 199 6, of
AID S-r ela ted
complications in his hometown of Ced
ar
Rapids, Iowa, according to his brot
her,
Andrew Fletcher of Minneapolis, Min
nesota.
Fletcher was born Dec. 8, 1954,
in
Cedar Rapids and graduated from Was
hington High School in Cedar Rap
ids,
where he was an award-winning quar
terback on the school's football team
.
Fletcher later graduated with a bachelor
's
degree from Colorado State Universit
y in
Fort Collins, and a master's degree from
George Washington University in D.C
.
U.S. Rep. Steve Gunder:son (R-Wis.)
described Fletcher as a ·'good friend."
"We were introduced to each other
in
the spring of 1983 by somebody
who
said that we had too much in com
mon
not to know each other," Gunderson
recalled.
Among their similarities, Gunderson
said, was that both were Gay, grew up
in
the Midwest, and were sons of Chevrol
et
dealers.
Fletcher worked as a legislative assis
tant in Gunderson 's office from
June
1985 to March 1987. He also served
o
the committee staffs of Reps. Frank
Horton (R-N.Y.) and William Clinger
(RPa.), and he had worked on the Nati
onal
Republican Senatorial Committee.
Most recently, Fletcher served as the
Republican staff director of the
U.S.
House of Representatives Committee
on
Government Operations. He retired from
that position in December 1994.
Fletcher testified before the Hou
se
Commerce Committee on April 5, 1995
during hearings on the reauthorization
of
the Ryan White CARE Act.
"I know many other staffers on the Hill
suffering from AIDS, and they have
suffered basically in silence. There is
a lot
of fear, fear about wh.at going publ
ic
might mean for their boss, worryin
g
about the politics, but it is right here
on
Capitol Hill, and I just was hoping
to
give a little face to it," Fletcher said in
his
testimony.
"I would hope that this committ
ee
would reauthori:re the Act in· as stron
ga
manner as possible," he concluded.
"Matt was one of those people who excelled on Capitol Hi11, and he was
the
same <>rdinary, decent guy to all
his
friends," Gunderson said.
Fletcher was preceded in death by his
partner of 17 years, John J. Dent of
Arlington, Va.
Fletcher is survived by his parents,
Marnie and William C. Fletcher of Ced
ar
Rapids; another brother, Daniel,
of
Cincinnati, Ohio; a godson; and addition
1\1 family and friends, including the parents and sisters of his partner, Dent.
Funeral services were held Sept. 3 in
Cedar Rapids. Fletcher's remains were
cremated. The ashes were retained by

interview, commenting on
his time there, he said, "The
entire time I was there I
never had a problem from
anybody , and it was a real
redneck environment. But if
you are very secure with
yourself, if you really
believe in your lifestyle, people sense that and leave you
alone. They don't mess with
you when you feel strongly
about something. I never
forgot that, and that's how I
decided to live my life. I
have no· regrets."
Anderson moved to
California in 1988, first living in Riverside and Costa
Mesa before settling in West
Los Angeles two years later.

An account of the resource
This collection was originally titled the Robert John Quinn AIDS Memorial Books, by the compiler Robert John Quinn. As The History Project began digitizing the obituaries, we realized Robert John Quinn's methodology in collecting the obituaries was unknown, nor could it be verified. <br /><br />This collection includes more than 7,000 obituaries, many of which specify that individuals died of AIDS or AIDS-related illnesses. However, there are obituaries included in these scrapbooks for victims of hate crimes, of individuals who died of other illnesses or accidents, and some obituaries where the cause of death is not included. Sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV/AIDS status, if not clearly stated, should not be assumed or implied of anyone in this collection. <br /><br />In order to maintain this collection in its entirety as Robert John Quinn had intended, and to honor all of the individuals included, we have changed the name to Robert John Quinn's Memorial Books. <br /><br />If for any reason you find an obituary that you wish to have removed from this digital collection, please contact The History Project at info@historyproject.org with the person's name and reason for removal. <br /><br /><em><strong>This digitization project was funded in part by <a href="http://masshumanities.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mass Humanities</a>, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.</strong></em>
