Peter and I were so sad Jeremy to see the notice for your Dad. I know that you and Jonathan will miss him a lot. He was the most incredible man and a genius in his scientific work for which he was suitably rewarded. I so remember all the wonderful Lytton Christmas parties that he and your dear Mom hosted for all of us.Our block was like Family for decades while you were all growing up but the memories never fade. Those were happy times which will bring you comfort at this time. May he rest in peace.
