Not sure what to say?

Mr Putterman was my Drawing professor in my Freshman and Senior year of Art School. Philosophy and approaches to art, painting I still apply to this day. A real gentleman, with a great sense of humor, he is missed

Lovely man and a kind caring teacher. He left a huge impression on me when I was his student back in the mid 1970's at PCA. I have always remembered him - always will.

I was always glad to see Boris when he entered the classroom at OLLI. He was always cheerful, and I enjoyed listening to his poems and short stories about the army.

We (the class and I) became concerned when he missed several classes. I especially missed Boris.

I realize there are no words to comfort. But I will say a prayer for you. I will always remember Boris's smile. I always considered him a friend.

It was my privilege to be Boris' Colleague for many years. I always enjoyed his wit. Patty

Boris, you and I never met, but I had the good fortune of experiencing firsthand the obvious wonderful impact you had on the members of your family. I read your obituary, and feel ALL the great benefits you offered to your family, especially to your son, Josh, whom I've known many years.

I spoke to Boris over the phone, when I was calling for Arlene. He was always kind to me, and a pleasure to speak to.

Dear Arlene,
I'm thinking of you with love and a heavy heart. Your love for Boris has been an inspiration to me. My deepest condolences to you.

You will be truly missed at OLLI
