Shlomo ben Asher ( of blessed memory) was a cherished friend and mentor. Often calling me a very strange child for my intrest in Judaism being a Christian. I remember every moment I spoke to him and shared my information about Judaism. His consant love for jokes always made you feel so good inside. I am full of grief and happiness as I remember his love for Hebrew, The Jewish people, and Eretz Yisrael. I will always cherish his gift of introducing me to Jewish education. May G-d bless and keep your family. May the memory of our beloved mentor, father, husband, friend, brother never perish from our minds.
Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey:
From childhood to maturity
and youth to age;
From innocence to awareness
and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to desecration
and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or
from strength to weakness
and often back again;
From health to sickness
and we pray to health again.
From offense to forgiveness
from loneliness to love
from joy to gratitude
from pain to compassion
from grief to understanding
from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat
until looking backwards or ahead
We see that victory lies not
at some high point along the way
but in having made the journey
step by step
a sacred pilgrimage.
Birth is a beginning
and death a destination
And life is a journey;
A sacred journey to life everlasting.

I will always remember your father's jokes, good humour and congeniality in addition to the stories of all the things he "let go" at the Seder table. May the good memories comfort you.
With great sadness Barbara Kuppersmith, Ryan, Michelle and Bob
