Laura Ellen, and Lisa -- I will always remember how Al and I met up with you two in London and Paris and the great times we had there. And how he officiated at our 50th anniversary. He was a giant of a man and will be missed.

I only knew The Judge for a short time. In that time I found him to be kind, funny, generous, and full of life. He was a great inspiration to me. At every Gotham Luncheon that I heard him speak at, he spoke proudly of his family. May G-d bless and keep him always.

To the Goldfluss family,
I knew the Judge through Gotham City Networking. He was a kind man who touched everyone he met. Everytime he entered one of our meetings, whoever was speaking would stop so we could welcome The Judge. His love for all of you was very evident in the way he always spoke of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

As a former Gothamite, I spoke with the Judge on many occassions over the past few years. He always shared his opinions on the law with me and encouraged me to take a stand on the issues on which I felt strongly. He will be missed.
