Rhoda: Irene and I offer our deepest condolences on your loss of Eli. Although we didn't know him well, we enjoyed spending time with him whenever we got together. Your trip to Puerto Rico was especially meaningful. I still have the engraved cane he left. Would you like it back? Again, our prayers are with you as you grieve. Cousin Eliot and Irene Winokur

Dear Rhoda and family,
We are away and just heard the very sad news that Eli had passed away. Eli was known not only for his professionalism in the Brockton community, but also for his kind and gentle nature. He always had words of wisdom and interesting conversation when we'd see him. He was compassionate with the dental care he gave our aging mother and though our paths didn't cross many times recently, we always felt a special fondness for his lovely demeanor, and in fact often mentioned what a great family man and person he was and that is how we shall remember him. We only regret we
didn't develop closer ties because we know we missed out.
May Eli's loving memory forever be a blessing to us, and especially to his dear Rhoda and treasured children whom we know he cherished.
Our heartfelt condolences with hugs,
Lois and Abbott (Miller)

Always greeting me with a smile, Dr. factor would always engage me with great conversations regarding current events, Israel, politics or something humorous. He was always the definition of a Hamish man. Dr. Factor will always be part of my memories from my day at the Temple.
