Dear Idell family, we want to send our sincere condolences to you. I can remember all these years later attending George and Margie's wedding. We spent a few christmas visits with George and Margie. George was always a most gracious host and thoughtful person. We were very sorry to hear of your loss. Diana Grubman Perez and family.

Dear Theresa, Joseph and Stephen...I was so very sorry to learn that you had lost your Dad. I worked with (ok, for ...) him back in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I remember you all coming in to 'work' with your Mom. We were all so fortunate to work with the people that were on staff at that time! They were great times at ole EH! Please know that you and your families are in my thoughts and have my deepest sympathies. Sincerely, Ann L
