My deepest condolences to a giant of a man who believed in helping youth and who was a devoted member and supporter of the West End House organization as well as a good friend to so many of us. I regret that recent surgery and convalescence will not allow me to attend the services on Sunday, but I do hope to be able to visit during shiva week. He was a remrkable man whom we truly admired.
