To the family of Dr. Chamovitz,

Deepest Sympathy for your loss. He was
very good to me for many years being my
doctor. He was the Dr. I went to for everything,
not just for a digestive disorder. I felt that
he treated me not just as a patient, but as a
friend or a relative. I have never forgotten
the patience he had when I was under his care in the hospital.
Sincerely,
George Malerbo

Dear Sheila and family: Sincerest condolences at this very sad time. Our memories go back to the first time I met you when Julia and Max were just babies. Since then, there were many memorable occasions. I will always remember Bob as an excellent physician and friend. I hope your memories bring you all comfort as you mourn.
