Yale Cantor

Beryl and Yale were two of the finest people I have ever known. I worked for many years with Beryl as a school social worker in Vernon. I met Yale when I worked at Rockville high school. What a great guy. He cared so much about the kids and his community. We shared similar political beliefs and enjoyed good discussions. I moved to DC in 1987 but always corresponded with Beryl at the holidays. I ran into them in NYC at Lincoln Center attending the opera. They were lucky enough to get tickets...

My condolences to the Cantor family. I wish I could have been there in person to pay my respects. Yale was a wonderful family man and community servant. May he rest in peace.

YALE WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON TO KNOW...WITH GREAT RESPECT AND GRACIOUSNESS! IT WAS ON A VERY WINTER SNOWSTORM MORNING THAT YALE (GOD BLESS HIM) MADE IT TO THE TOWNHALL TO OFFICIATE AT MY SPOUSE JACQUES AND MY WEDDING CEREMONY ON VALENTINE'S DAY IN 2014! I FIRST MET YALE WHEN I JOINED THE ELLINGTON HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION AND I WAS A FAN WHO ADMIRED HIS INTEGRITY AND HIS VALOR!! WE GOT TO MEET HIS BELOVED DEAR WIFE BERYL AND HOW MUCH SHE MEANT TO HIM. WE REMEMBER VIVIDLY YALE'S BEING...

So many years of being a local hero and good guy extraordinaire. Thanks to his family for sharing him so generously. He'll be long remembered.
