Dearest Pop,

I miss you more then any words could possibly express. You were and always will be the best grandfather anyone could ever ask for. You were such an inspiration to me and taught me so much about life. You were so selfless and caring always putting everyone else before yourself. I want to thank you so much for everything you have done for me and our family. I will never forget the amazing times we spent together. You had a calm about you that is unlike anyone else, and when you smiled it was truly contagous. I will never forget you Pop and I love you so so much!

Love always and forever,
Your grandaughter, Ronni

Dear Marcia, So sorry to hear about the passing of Erwin. He was a wonderful man and will be missed. I remember the good times all those summers at Shangri lai. We lost touch but I've thought about you often. I would love to see you again so maybe we can get together this winter when we are both in Florida. I'm in Delray Beach.

Dear Marsha and Family
I am so sorry to hear of Erwins passing. I have fond memories of a fabulous trip to Israel with you both. What fun we had. The jokes and games on the bus rides, the hospitality of your daughter as well as the great sites of Israel. Erwin's personality was infectious and made the trip special.
I think of you both often. Erwin will be missed but he leaves a great legacy.
Just think how many people had the opportunity to see,enjoy and learn so much about Israel because of the two of you.
Fondly
