To Leslie's Family, I worked with Leslie at CHIC many years ago. I hadn't seen her in many years but I have many fond memories of her. I just learned from one of her co-workers that she had passed away. My sincere condolences to Bob and the boys.
Remember all the happy times you had with her and we pray God will give you strength to get through this difficult time.

Bob, Eric and Douglas:
We are truly saddened to hear about Leslie's passing. Leslie and I went to Lawrence High School together and RPI. Probably elementary school and junior high as well.
Leslie was my buddy--we travelled back and forth from North Woodmere to RPI every few weeks during our early years there. Leslie was with me when my Dad had his heart attack when we were 18--she really helped me thru a hard, scary time.
I wonder if Leslie told you about me leaving my pregnant dog Friday with her when I had to go on a trip, and she wound up having a litter of 7 puppies! Did she ever tell you about "have to hit" backgammon? One of our favorite pastimes at RPI!
The thing that I remember most about your wife and your mother is her irrepressible laughter, the red hair and smiling face. And our endless conversations.
Through the years I would run into Leslie--at the airport picking up one of your kids from a birthright trip to Israel, occasional emails or calls. We even visited when our kids were little also. And I think that we all thought that there would always be time to be together again.
Well, there is no excuse and I wish that I had been a frequent visitor. Leslie was a rare gift.
Leslie touched a lot of people. Donald Lipscomb learned about Jewish food and fallafel from Lesie and found me through Leslie. We just met and had dinner together - the last time I saw him was 28 years ago with Leslie. And Dork Sahagian was originally my roommate at RPI. He then became a good friend with Leslie, and then they shared a house at RPI. It is a small world--and Leslie make it a better place.
Well, I could go on, but you should know that I was very fond of your wife and mother, and we were all devastated when we heard.
With love,
Alan Mazursky

My sincere condolences to your family on Leslie's passing. I grew up across the street from Leslie. Her house and large, fun family were a comfortable second home to me for over 15 years. Leslie was a friendly, kind and happy person. I remember sitting in her room listening to Procol Harem records as teenagers! When I have thought of Leslie over the years, it has always been with affection and warm wishes. May she rest in peace.

Two years ago, Leslie burst into our lives like a red hued firecracker. It was odd, the timing of it all. I met her in an interview for my job at DHCR. It was only a couple weeks later, after I had accepted the position, that we first saw Leslie at B’Nai Sholom. She didn’t realize that we were already members and said, excited as always for new members, “don’t worry, we’ll never talk shop here.” Two years seems such a short time, but Leslie filled that time up with enough joy and energy that we feel that we must have known her for twenty. She would stop by my cubicle, on her way to or from one of her coffee runs, “just stopping by.” We’d talk of her gardening, her sons, Bob’s trucks, Mimi, the upcoming holidays or her newest home design project. I once asked her of a place to buy Kosher for Passover wine, not only did she tell me about Lou Simon’s, she drove me up there on a lunch break. I laughed as I rode to the liquor store with my supervisor at lunch time. Only with Leslie. My family was a fortunate recipient of one of Leslie’s famous baby showers. She was so excited about our twins and, when driving me around to survey the suitability of some sites, she mentioned how she couldn’t wait to be their surrogate grandmother. Neither could I. It hardly seems possible that she left us so quickly and before she could spend more than a couple hours with our children. We love her so. Our firecracker floated away too quickly, but the memory of her light will always brighten our lives.

To the Adler family,
I am so sorry to hear about Leslie. I knew her from the Parker School/Doane Stuart era, and she was a great help to me during a difficult year.
In the ways that I knew her, she was always part of the solution. Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I worked with Leslie for only a short time, however, she made a lasting impression on me. She was a friendly dedicated professional public servant who was truly dedicated to the mission of providing quality affordable housing across NYS. I am also a State worker and am deeply saddened . I have no doubt that Leslie's beautiful spirit and memories will live forever with all the people that she has touched both personally and professionally.

Bob, Eric and Douglas,
I was so saddened to hear about Leslie. She was such a nice person and a great neighbor. Your family has always been friendly and personable to all of us. I will miss seeing Leslie out there each year planting and weeding her yard. She always worked hard at making it look so nice. I will miss her smile and friendly personality. She was a special lady. Please accept our condolences and know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless You at this difficult time. If there is anything we can do, just ask.
Your Neighbors,
