Dear Elissa and family: So sorry to read of Dick's passing. May his memory be for a blessing. It was many moons ago Bobbie and I met you and Dick at University housing and had fun times together. Dick and I loved to engage in NYC baseball trivia of which we had considerable knowledge. He was a very principled lawyer and person, a real mensch! Take care and be well.

So many good memories of sharing jazz events and "reel jazz" over the years with Dick and Elissa. Sending love to his family.
