Sy was an important member of the Virginia Psychoanalytic Society for many years. His commentaries were valued and always astute. It´s very sad for me to hear of his passing, and I wish the best for his family. Jerome S Blackman MD , Virginia Beach , past Pres, Virginia Psychoanalytic Society

Unbeknownst to him the chairman of the psychiatry department volunteered that he would supervise me in group therapy when he came here to UVA. He was an outstanding supervisor and teacher . He was known for his wit and his insights. Residents frequently honored him and he was awarded teacher of the year. Not only was he an excellent analyst, but a really special human being. He contributed to so many people...

A deeply loving man.
