Not sure what to say?

Dear Family,

Very belatedly, I saw this beautiful tribute to your husband and father.
He was so accomplished...I recently came across a note given to me from Buzzy. He was a member of the class of 1959 at Akiba Hebrew Academy in the mid 50's prior to attending a Yeshiva in Baltimore, MD.
So sorry that we never connected. He is fondly remembered by members of the class. May his memory be a blessing to your family and to the Jewish people.
Avi Watman Katz '59

Im sorry to hear of his passing. I used to work for him ( 94/95) and loved my job. He was always so nice to me. I have many great memories of him and his wife.
I drove the van to charter the patients to and fro. Picked up the doctors surgical instruments in Largo in his car. He worried about me driving alone so he always gave me his cell phone. He was very caring. Ill always remember these things.

I met Bob and Rona when they first came to Sarasota. I became a patient of Bob's as well as my
children. He had one of the most remarkable memories I have even known. He will be missed
and remembered by so many of us always.

I still think fondly when i have appointment with Dr Friedman.. remember seeing Dr Kantor on #41!

Rona, I'm saddened to hear about Dr. Kantor. It's been years. You probably do not remember me, Lorrie Rowell. We lived across the street from one another in Irving, Tx. I used to babysit for Stephanie and Jeffrey before your family moved to Sarasota. Rosemarie and I visited you in Sarasota shortly after you moved. I have thought fondly of your family over the years and wondered how everyone was and with all the attention on Florida, with Irma (hurricane) heading that way I thought to look...

We love you and miss you, Dad, but you will shine forever in our hearts.

Dear Kantor Family,

You all continue to be in my everyday thoughts and prayers. So often, we'll be out somewhere and run into someone who remembers that I worked for Dr. Kantor and ask about Rona and the "children". I smile, because you "children" are all grown up now and lead incredible lives of your own. Your Dad was always so proud of all of you, as well he should be.

I can tell you, his patients miss him terribly because I've had a few call me and ask what they're...

Like another, I was his patient from the very early days. Most of his equipment was still in boxes. And over the years I presented him with many hi-miopic challenges and did my children. I just learned of his passing. The world has lost a gifted docter and a good man.
