Toni, so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Up until the past couple of years, he & I would meet at various ski resorts in Vermont to ski & catch up on news of our families.
I had many memorable moments talking politics, tennis, skiing & family with your Dad. He also helped me through the years with struggles I had.
Although we hadn't seen each other in the past few years, I will miss him.
My wife Lilian enjoyed his fascinating conversations when we would meet for...

"Dewars Martini Straight up With A Twist of Lemon in a chilled Martini Glass with A Club Soda on the Side." -Doc

That's what he said.

This news has truly affected the deepest part of my soul. "Doc", as I called him in the West Village was a true mentor to me in my years living in New York City. A real friend. One of My only truest friends. He coached and guided me through my darkest days and rejoiced with me in my brighter happiest days. For me he was like a father. Whenever he...

I am so sorry to read that Bill has passed away. I'd been trying to reach him since the summer, calling and writing. I have known him, loved him, and respected him, since I was a child. He was my father, Aaron Goldblatt's, best friend-how the two of them enjoyed their ski trips all over the world.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. Whenever he spoke about Toni, Hillary and Marissa, he beamed. He was a very, very special person.

Dr. Johnson: It was a pleasure and honor meeting you a couple of years ago. Rest well sir. -- Leza Ann Rawlins

I like to thank my father-in-law for all the emotional support and guidance that he gave to Hillary and all the visits he made to Chicago to interact with his granddaughter Marissa. He was a worldly gentleman. A bit of a dandy. A man who would jump on plane in the summer to go to Chile so he could ski in the Andes. He was a "cool dude". We will miss him.

So sorry to heard about your Dad. He must have been a wonderful man, to have a daughter like you. Sending you my deepest sympathy, Toni. God bless you and your family.

Wm Johnson,
You left a legacy of confidence and pride in me during and after our brief professional time together and for that I'm forever grateful. God bless you! Alan Davis
