At a restaurant in Armory Square, the group of people gathered to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of his birth. Richard Gere, the actor’s son, was one of the main guests at the celebration.

Pastabilities, which is one of the oldest restaurants in the square, played host to the birthday celebration. Since 1982, it opened his doors for his customers.
