"It was a great personal blessing and a privilege for me to have known this fine loving man. He was the head of a wonderful family and a true gentleman. I will forever remember him. A Yiddish word really and properly describes him. He was a real "mensch". My heart goes out to his dear family at this sad difficult time."
