Dear Saul,

Today would have been your birthday. I remember you, like I am sure so many others do, with a great sense of love, admiration and respect. Thank you for the many lessons learned and for opening your home, together with Judy, to me. Gracias amigo.

We valued and treasured our friendship with Saul and extend our most heartfelt condolence to Judy and all his family. We met while I was on the faculty of Cardozo Law School and Saul was by far my favorite colleague. He became our neighbor in Southampton and Kathleen and I were hoping to retire here and spend many days enjoying good times with him. We will miss him and feel enriched by having known him as a trusted friend.

Saul served as a member of the Executive Committee of the International Section of the New York State Bar Association for many years and was one of the "founding members" of "NYSBA International." Before his illness, he led for a number of years the process by which NYSBA International selects the recipients of its Annual Award for Distinction in International Law and Affairs. He was deeply respected and cherished by all of his colleagues and we send our most sincere expressions of sympathy and appreciation to his family and to all of his colleagues and friends.
