Dear Mrs Kussner,, Joanne & Family
I was very sorry to hear about Mr Kussner's passing - he was a wonderful man.
I was very fortunate to have worked for Biltwell Containers in 1983 and was given the opportunity to meet the very special Kussner family.
It was a time in my life that I will always remember
Mr Kussner was always so nice and treated me so well.
It was an honour to work for such an excellent company run by a thoughtful man.
Joanne - I don't know if you remember me - but I have always thought of you and how nice you always were. I know how difficult this is for you and my sincerest sympathies go out to you and your family.
I hope you can get some strength in knowing what a wonderful man your father was - even to a little office clerk
I respected him very much

Dear most special Sheila and family,
Our heartfelt sadness at this time of incredible loss.
Marvyn was a wonderful human being who stood by your side, beaming with pride and love, supportive of all the incredible achievements you were making.
Together you moved mountains and made miracles happen. You changed the face of cancer in Montreal and worldwide. Together you loved, lived and accomplished great things, all the while nurturing your family too. They felt your love along with pride for what you were doing.
May beautiful memories and his unending love sustain and keep you in health and well being, and may all the mitzvahs and kindnesses you so generously bestowed on others, come back to you now.
All my love and forever grateful to you,
Sandra Marcovici Sterling, Howard and family
