I was saddened to read Morty's obituary last week as we were packing to go to California. Morty and the Gondelman's share a special place in our families collective hearts and histories. Many were employed @ Morton's Dept. store, esp. in the furs dept. And, I particularly fondly remember Morty taking me regularly to the circus @ the Garden when I was quite young and he was in college. Please accept the condolences from us, and my deceased relatives: mother, Janet Golub, and aunt and uncle, Goldie and Irving Sea, and great uncle, Morris Berenson. Herb & Carol Golub

Thinking about the many occasions - especially the sederim at the home of Morty's beloved sister, Sis Kazis and her husband, Rabbi Israel Kazis z"l - that I was privileged to share with Morty z"l and his family. I send my most sincere condolences to the entire Gondelman family.
