Not sure what to say?

I think about prof Golb from time to time with gratitude for his guidance.

I studied with Professor Golb at the OI in 1966. When I became pregnant in 1967, Prof Golb and his wife lent me their car, and house while they were on sabbatical. I will always be grateful for the generosity of intellectual knowledge and physical assistance to a poor student. Thank you Mrs. Golb.

My condolences to Ruth, Raphael, Joel, Judy, and Harriet. I was always happy to have such a wonderful person and distinguished scholar as my cousin.
