I don't know if Roselie will get this message or read the previous ones, but each one is sent with love.
The days on Okinawa with friends such as Maury and Roselie have always been happy memories.
We would share stories about our lives both in the Air Force and outside as well as having parties at one another's homes. Their son was in a highchair and Catherine was just going to kindergarten when we met. I have many pictures of our time together and whenever I look at them, I remember the happiest of times shared.
Rest in Peace.... Maury you left us too soon.

It is never too late to remember someone.
I remember Maury and Rosalie going back to our days on Okinawa. We lived a few doors away from one another off base while our husbands were with the USAF at Naha Air Base.
Maury was always the life of the party as well as being a great host.
We enjoyed listening to Maury playing base horn which he played as an exceptional musician.
Maury was one of those people one never forgets as life goes on.
Barry died in 2015 but he often spoke of Maury in kind terms over the years.
Sincerely. Nan Schell.

Cast parties for Rosie's shows were wonderful at that 'house on the hill' because of Maury's excellent skills and warmth as a host. He will be missed.

I have wonderful memories of times spent with Maury in the 1961-1962 time frame at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. May he rest in peace. Ron Wardell, former Captain, USAF
