Dear Elaine and Carol, I don't remember whether I met your father in person, but I saw photos of him in my mom's album. That's how I know how he looked. I will remember him and your mother.

I never met Maury, only Anita. But my mother, Anita's 1st cousin, was in close relationship with both Maury and Anita. I recently found a letter my mother, Lena Harpak, wrote to me in her handwriting in Hebrew. The letter is from August 1983, while my mother was visiting Maury and anita. She writes: "Maury waited for me at the airport. Anita was at home. We spent a nice evening together, talking about everything." The next day my mother wrote: "We met Anita's kids and grandchildren. We made BBQ, we took some photos and showed photos of our families. Anita and Maury are very nice people, they make me feel comfortable. Anita is a wonderful housewife, the house is beautiful, with good taste, painted in white. I love their kitchen, full of things that make life easier... " these are my memories, which are my mother's memories, which will remain always in photos and letters.

Dear Aunt Anita, cousins Carol, Steve, Elaine, Phil, and Steve; and
grandchildren.

We feel very sad about Uncle Maury's passing away.
We know there were difficult times prior to his death,
but fortunately, there were also decades of love and fun with him.
Times which we will always remember.
He must have shared so many memories with all of you,
the grandchildren, and all of his siblings, nieces, and nephews.
Maury's love and friendship spread to 3 generations of family.

I remember the teen years when I went to the Cape for 1 week
with him, and had a lot of fun. When I got married, Carolyn
and I enjoyed being with him at family events. My 3 children also
enjoyed his company at several of the family picnics.
They would talk for hours and tell jokes.
He was friendly, honest, lovable, family oriented and devoted,
definitely humorous, and a pleasure to be with.

We will miss him dearly.

With love, and good health to all of you;

Alvin, Carolyn, and Evan

We always looked forward to our Sunday visits with Carol, Steve, Anita and Morris. It was our first and best introduction to Massachusetts. Morris was a man of humor, dignity and an obvious love for family. He would smile with great pride at his wife, children, grandchildren and extended family during visits. We will miss our Sundays together but are honored that our friendship endures. We send our condolences and love to you all.

Dear Anita, Carol, Elaine, Steven and family
Anita, I was excited to meet you again several months ago, and to finally meet you, Carol. Unfortunately during my last visit in the US I didn't meet Maury, Elaine or Steven.
I was sad to hear about Maury. I remember him from his visit to Israel years ago, together with Anita, when they came to see my mother and our family. Anita and my mother, Lena, are first cousins. Elaine and Steven, I hope you remember my mother.
I wish I could be with you all during this difficult time. I, my husband Moshe and our sons, Noam & Ronen, send you from far away our deep and sincere condolences. We want you to know that we think of you and send our love and support to you all. Anita, I give you a hug and a kiss. I'm thinking of you,
Edna, your cousin from Israel

Marc and I would like to express our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the entire Pugatch family. Growing up with Carol, I have fond and happy memories of spending time at the Pugatch household, and of Mr. Pugatch in particular, with his quick wit and sense of humor, which I will never forget. Knowing the Pugatch family is truly a privilege and a blessing which we will always cherish. Marc and I send our love, prayers, and support to the whole family at this difficult time.
