It was such a joy to work with you and your son last year. I wouldn't have made it without you. I loved to compare how similar you both were (and the differences). A sheer joy! Bless you now and forever on, for all the lives you have moved and given a smile to!!!

Steven & Ashley, I am so sorry for your loss. My family, especially Jeff & Ryan, have so many fond memories of your dad over many years. He was truly a 'loving character.' Love to you & your family, Roberta (Bert)

It has been such a long time since we saw you, but the memories I hold are so rich. Working at speed with you, and the great parties at our house that you were always a part of. Such great laughter. May your memory be a blessing . David and Alyce Kushner
