I worked for the Spiegels for many years in East Meadow, Sigmund and Ruth were very nice to me. I am sorry, Bret people.

I am so sorry I did not spend more time with you. I have always admired and respected you for you brilliance and humanity.

Mr. Spiegel spoke yearly at our St. Martha's Confirmation Class. We and our students were frankly in awe of him and deeply moved by his experiences and humanity. For me personally he is of my father's and uncle's WWII veteran generation who have left a hole in the soul of the world with their passing. We are alone now. It is up to us, as Mr. Spiegel said at the end of each of his presentations, "To stand up and not be silent in the face of evil." We are comforted in knowing he is with his...

I have many memories of Mr Spiegel and his family going back more than 50 years. He was a devoted husband and father. He and Mrs Spiegel were like my second parents, and Sandra my other sister.

My love and sincere condolences go out to Mrs Spiegel, Sandi, and Debbie.
