A"H Please accept my deepest condolences. I knew Nir and the moving photographs he took at March of the Living, with Ve'ahavta and others. A real mensch and loss to all.

Dear dear Nir: Thank you for sharing your life with so many of us. I only had the pleasure of knowing you a few short years but loved your zest for life, your kindness, and your sense of humour. I will miss you but remember your spirit.

I am very sorry to hear this sad news. In the short time I knew Nir as a fellow photographer and studio mate, he reached out beyond limits. A talented individual who will be missed by the creative community in this city . I last saw him at his exhibition at the Market Gallery almost a year ago..

I came across this obit totally by accident. Nir lived on Markham Street for years, just down from us and we connected since his niece Lili is an old friend of mine. He was very friendly and interesting to chat with and I always wanted to catch up with him... I am sorry that he is gone.
