I met John while working at AllianceBernstein on a project. He was brilliant, funny, stubborn, had a memory like no one I´ve ever met and was an incredibly kind man. He absolutely loved his family and spoke so highly of all of you. Although I´ve not spoken to John in a few years his friendship was something I cherished. May his memory be eternal.

Dear Myra, Mike, Melissa, Maya, Asher and Lev,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mike and Ellis both spoke beautifully about John's devotion to family. I haven't seen John in more than 30 years, but I remember his warmth and his smile clearly. John, Mike and Myra helped welcome me to Kadima and USY, which helped shaped my life as a teenager and adult. I hope that sharig good memories of John will provide your family with some comfort during this challenging time. Hamakom Yenachem Etchem B'Toch Shaar Aveley Tzion V'Yerushalayim. Sending love.
