We were neighbors of Sam and Arlene in the 1960's in an apartment building on Melvina Avenue in Chicago. We were all young and just starting our married lives. Though our paths haven't crossed often in the past years, we remember you both as good friends and neighbors.

We send you, Sam, and your entire family our deepest sympathy at this time.
