Dear Robert and Family,
My deepest condolences on your loss. Mr. Margolis was a special man who was such an integral part of our West Newton Community. Robert, you and I attended Davis School together and I worked with your dad during many years working at CVS Pharmacy in West Newton Square. He was such a kind and generous man with a wonderful sense of humor. I know he deeply loved his family. I will remember him fondly and will keep all of you in my prayers.

Jon had been my next door neighbor for over 19 years. We shared our love of our dogs, neighborhood gossip and meaningful occurances in our lives. I loved watching him pull out of his garage in his Antique cars. He rode them so well. I will miss him very, very much.
