Edmond and Lois were and are my "Jewish parents!" I met them at least 15 years ago and have loved them since !
Edmond was the "father" I turned to when I needed advice . He never failed !!
My late husband, Eric, and I enjoyed so many engagements with Edmond and Lois! Eric and Edmond talked history, Old Testament, and life while Lois and I chatted !
So much love, respect , and appreciation for Edmond!
Lynn, " the middle daughter!" A

to Lois and the entire Zisook family-
From my childhood growing up at Temple Isaiah Israel, I always heard about the wonderful Zisook family from my parents Hortense and Harold Rosenstein. Ed and Lois carried on the family traditions and values after leaving Hyde Park, exemplars of "from generation to generation".
May Edmund´s life forever be a blessing.
