Not sure what to say?

Dear family, I am so saddened by this news. Even though I have not seen Buddy in many years I feel a closeness to him. We had so many good summers together and they will always be happy times to remember. He was a special man.

Melissa & Jocelyn, you and your children spoke so beautifully today about your dad. Treasure every special memory sounds like you have a lifetime to reflect on sending much love... XO.

Dear Brenda and Family, We were so sorry to hear of the death of Bernie. He was such a nice man that we knew from MYC. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now. Love, Susan & Arthur Kaplan
