Hope and family, I just got word of Marvin's passing. I saw mention of The RAMS in one of the notes here and I go back that far with memories of Marv. Every memory, both as a friend and patient, is one of the kind and caring person he was. Sympathy to all.

Dearest Gayla, Ellen Amy, and Hope:
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Your dad was truly a mensch, and a favorite among the RAMS. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. The last time I saw him, he was wearing his RAMS baseball cap, and he gave me a big hug as we said good-bye.
Holding you and your families in love and light,
Your RAMS sis, Jill

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Dr. Bernstein was our family dentist for many years. I recall fondly his loves of classical music and baseball and the stories he told while filling cavities!
