Read MoreDad. Funny how things happen ... just a week ago or so, a third cousin in Canada sent a message about your album, which he found, played and loved.

So, you are always near and I am always here to receive your otherworldly messages. Miss you, A.

Funny how time (and an old photo or two) helps generate questions and then repaints memories to make everything more shiny and bright. Unwrapping gifts set aside for so long and creating realities based on the dialogues and events brought forth in dreams and meditations. Miss the 'for real' conversations we were able to share as adults with nothing to prove. Love and respect and the joy of your authentic smile as we fully embraced our second or third or fifth chance to set the records...

Dad, your presence is consistently with me - an article you sent that pops up in a file, a few bars of Clair De Lune when least expected (always brings a tear), conversations in lucid dreams - wish we had had more time, but I'm happy for every words we shared especially during the 2000s. Miss you always. Love, April

The heavens are playing a wonderful tune now that they have their pianist! Although our times were few because of geography I carry memories that remain....the white caddy model you sent...the cutouts of LA newspaper articles on sports...and the epitomy of what i picture when i think of you, "tickling the ivories" with a drink at the side! :)
Yanu'akh beshalom al mishkavo ... May you rest in peace !
Love your nephew Mark along with Eden and Logan
