September 28, 2023

I am Jonathan Fixler, David Fixler's brother, and Phyllis Halpern's brother in law. I knew Dorothy ("Dot") from many years of family get-togethers and shared events. She always had a ready smile and a warm spirit, as well as a quick wit. It was wonderful seeing her friendship with my late mother Charlotte Fixler, as they played and talked together with their grandkids. I only heard her play the piano once, but her mastery and true musicianship were impressive.
I am in awe of her achieving the age of 103(!), may we all be so fortunate.
I will miss Dot.
