Mr Ed...our favorite patient! He always had a hug for us and a twinkle in his eye. he loved to talk about his family and always wanted to know about all of ours.
We will all miss him...I feel terrible that we did not know that he had passed away. I want his family to know how special he was to all of us here at his dental office.

Uncle Izzy was everybody's favorite uncle! He was the easiest man in the world to talk with, and always had something funny to say when he wasn't listening or giving thoughtful insight to the dialogue. He will be missed terribly by our entire family, including the many Gordon relatives on my side of the family who came to know him and love him like our own family!

Mr. Milstein was a wonderful, kind man. I was fortunate enough to see him recently on a visit to Minneapolis and it was his strong hug I will remember with fondness. Joellen and I shared delicatessen dinners with him when we were roommates and I always loved the twinkle in his eyes.

Izzy was my father's best friend and it was always a delight to spend time with him. He was so wonderful to my Dad - always visiting him at Sholom to share a laugh and a good meal. He will be so missed!

Uncle Izzy...what a special loving man. Always with a smile on his face and arms to run into for a hug. The world has always been a special place with my Uncle Izzy in it. I love you Uncle. I love you family. Know that my heart is with you as we all grieve and celebrate.

I will never forget his strentgh and conviction while in the hospital on New Year's Day when he passionately expressed how this was just a hurdle and he would get through it because he was not going to give up. That was truly Zaidie!

I loved greeting Izzy in the halls of 7 Oak. His warm friendly smile will always be remembered. Also, since I grew up with Rose, I have wonderful memories from 'way back when.' He will be missed.
