My wife were talking today about some of the great teachers we had back in high school and college. Dr. Pepkowitz's name came up almost immediately. I was fortunate to have him as my Biology teacher at Erie Community College in 1971. He was terrific, and now, somewhat very belatedly, I wanted to express my deepest condolences to his family and my thanks to a man and a great guy who helped me navigate biology like no other.

Dear Selma, Sammy & Roberta, Becky & Gerry and family: We were very sad to learn about the loss of Uncle Leonard, please accept our deepest expression of sympathy. We have many wonderful memories about boating and other activities over many years and in many places. You should be comforted by the fact that Uncle Len led a very productive and active life for many years and greatly contributed to the life of the Jewish people. He was a quiet and unsung hero in my book. You are rightly proud of his many academic contributions and life of service. May G-d give you the strength that you need at this time and we hope that it helps to know that we are all thinking of you. Hoping that you keep in touch with best regards, Chana and Gabe Michael.

Dear Aunt Selma, Sammy and Roberta, Becky and Gerry, Belle, Elise, Leslie and the rest of your immediate family, please accept our condolences on the passing of Uncle Lenny. To us, he was always the patriarch of our family and Dad ("Uncle Zelly") always spoke of his big brother with awe, tremendous respect and admiration. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

We were so sorry to hear about Uncle Leonard's passing. It's hard to believe that my dad -- his baby brother -- has been gone 15 years next week but we always take great comfort in our memories and hope you will, too.

Warmest wishes, Terri, Ken and Zelli Gavulic
