Not sure what to say?

We never met in person. But we are family. I think of Jerry and Rita often with much love. (Photo is mom, dad (Sam Fisher), and me back in the 60's)

Jerry & Rita are always in my prayers and in my thoughts. Elaine Fisher Manning

Although I never met in person Jerry (or his wife Rita) - both are frequently in my thoughts and in my prayers. God Bless. Elaine Fisher Manning

Remembering - Always

Although I never met him in person, we spoke a few times on the phone, his kindness and compassion were very evident. Jerry & wife Rita are always in my thoughts and prayers.

I have frequently reflected on My time in Mr. Tannenbaum's class (English, Irvington High School, 1971). A giant of a man, and exceptional educator. Who else would read aloud to the Class, 'Romeo and Juliet' in character voices; who else would have nick-names for every kid. Insightful, smart, funny.

He was a Great Teacher. My Deepest Condolences To His Family. May He Rest In Peace.

My home room teacher in senior year..great guy! Rest in Peace!!

As a student in his Modern Lit/Film Appreciation class, I learned many life lessons, and will always count Mr. Tannenbaum as one of my favorite IHS teachers. I am sorry to hear of his passing, over a year ago. But, looking through pictures, it appears that he lived his life fully right to the end. As a newly retired student, of the class of '71, that is another lesson, he has left me with.
Sincere condolences to all of his family and friends. ...
