Gale L. Raphael

DEAR NANCY, SORRY ABOUT MY COUSIN, GALE. HE WAS A GREAT PIANO PLAYER AND A SUPER MAN. LOVED HIM, BUT DIDN'T SEE HIM ENOUGH AS THE YEARS WENT BY. WHEN WE WERE ALL YOUNG, WE HAD MANY WONDERFUL TIMES THINKING OF ALL OF MY WONDERFUL MEMORIES. ELAINE ROSENTHAL HORLINK FROM BILLERICA, MA

Dear Nancy,

Sheila

To Nancy and all of Gale's family,
I was shocked to hear of Gale's recent illness and certainly saddened to hear of his passing. I extend to all of you my deepest sympathies.
Gale and Ted were my mentors in our profession and life in general. For their trust and confidence in me, I will forever be appreciative. I have many fond memories of the 25 years I worked with them. As a recent hire, I was chosen to accompany Gale on winter business trips to Vermont --- as I was the only employee...

I have great memories of Gale from my early childhood and even later. He and my mother shared a birthday and that was special. He was a great guy.

I'm saddened and shocked.
Gale was my mother's and late father's friend and accountant. Recently he helped me with a stressful legal task — with ease, charm, clarity and reassurance. My first visit there, he took a time out to tell me how the office once served as the fabled MGM movie studio's Boston office... how delightful and intriguing.
I'll miss his big deep voice, his laugh, sunny disposition and intellect.

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU. HE WAS SUCH A GREAT GUY.I HAVE MISSED YOUR HANDSOME FACE AND YOUR WONDERFUL PIANO PLAYING. I WAS YOUR FIRST FEMALE COUSIN. I CAN CERTAINLY REMEMBER ALL THE WONDERFUL TIMES WE HAD AT YOUR HOME IN BROOKLINE. MY LOVE AND DEEPEST FEELINGS GO OUT TO ALL OF THE FAMILY. COUSIN ELAINE
