Not sure what to say?

Dear Jane and family-- I only recently learned of Todd's death. I'm so sorry -- what a mentsch he was!

When i was hired as a tutor,at JRC, Arlie Rachlis suggested that I attend a few upcoming Bar and Bat Mitzvah services, to get a "feel" for the process; the first service I attended was Tony's, in late winter of 1983.

I am very sorry for your loss. He made such a difference in the...

A very fine and dear colleague who inspired his fellow physicians as he cared for the most difficult of patient challenges. He was loved by those patients who were blessed by his extraordinary devotion to guiding them.

I knew Todd for a long
time. You have my deepest sympathy.
Most sincerely,
