Amber Tauber

Amber was the first girl I ever dated. Over fifty years later, I was attending a gallery opening when I heard someone call out, "Well, if it isn't my old flame." I turned around, not thinking the comment was directed at me, and there stood Amber. We had't seen each other since high school. I will never forget the day I happened upon her singing "Girl From Ipanema" in an empty classroom or the night she sat down outside Cinema East and cried over the ending of "The Spy Who Came in From the...

I’ve been searching for the words to describe my relationship with Amber, and it’s really been hard to describe the indescribable. I’ve reread all the letters we exchanged, I’ve searched through pictures of precious times....especially the birth of Max, in Grandpa Johns arms! You gave me my nickname Kool. I tried to give you dog!! I remember trying to get that piano
out of your parents basement, buying Seymour, the car of my dreams from you, Chinese and drinks at...

Bob, So sorry to hear this news. She was a cool lady. Keeping you and Max in our hearts.

Amber was a class mate of mine at Brookhaven High School. We were in Choir & Drama classes together. Today, I can still see her as the “Mother Superior in The Sound of Music”. I played Herr Schmidt the Housekeeper & sang in the choir group. She had the deepest dimples that showed when she favored us with a warm smile. Bless all of her family.

My heart is broken, Amber and I have known each other for 53 years, for 45 of those years, we each others best friends, until sadly our lives took us in different directions! Every so often in life we get to be lucky and I got lucky the day we met, I was 17 yrs old, and she just seemed to dazzle and sparkle in everything she said and did! She could do anything, sing with perfect pitch, she could dance like a pro, she could decorate the smallest cubby to a grand room and seemed to pull it off...

Amber and I were not close friends, and our paths did not cross often, but when they did, it was easy to see she had an exceptionally large, kind heart, and that she was so alive and had so much energy. I very much appreciated her great kindness and friendliness. Thank you, Amber. - Julie Hall, an Arlingtowne Condo neighbor.

Amber was a bright light in our Senior Center. I was lucky enough to have worked with her for several years. The world will be a little quieter with her gone.

Bright, accomplished, funny. A wonderful friend! My condolences to Max and Bob.
