dear nancy, matthew,wendy, and debbie,

i worked for your dad as an x-ray technologist in his private office on harrison ave. in boston from 1980-1985. it is now december and i have just learned of his passing. your dad as you know was a real special guy who genuinely took an interest in all the lives he touched. he was so proud of all of you and spoke of you and your mom often. he was the perfect boss to work for as i went through my growing pains in my early twenties. he had lots of patience and never got upset with any of us. he, dr. sy kaufman, and beverly taught us alot. he called me the "polish princess." over the years we kept in touch until about 5 years ago. i often wondered what happened to him and now i know. i will never forget him and all he taught me. you were so lucky to have him as a father and i will never forget him. he was a real mensch. i send you all my sympathy.
