John Eckenstein was an early and enthusiastic supporter of me in the beginning days of my career. I would not have been as successful and have met nearly as many wonderful friends and clients without him. I have never forgotten his business tips and have quoted him frequently throughout my life. My sympathies and prayers are with the entire family.

Sorry late on condolences John was a proud and well he

should be a Leo Man of 1951. Always a treat to

be with him whatever the occasion would be. I know

your loss is hard but remember the happy tiimes.
