Dear Doris - We are very saddened to hear of your loss. We lived on Foster behind you and Jack back in the 80's and have fond memories of what good neighbors you were. We are still in Park Ridge and our boys are in college. We hope and trust your family weathers this storm and you are in good health and will be in good spirits as time marches on. Fondly, Ira and Maureen Helfgot

SO LONG TO MY UNCLE, MY GOD FATHER , MY FRIEND. YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME SINCE I WAS BORN, YOU AND AUNT DORIS ACCEPTED MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AS IF THEY WERE YOURS AND OVER THE YEARS BECAME A GREAT FRIEND. YOU SHARED MY SUCCESS' AND FAILURES. YOU GAVE ME ADVICE WHEN I NEEDED IT AND TAUGHT ME OVER THE YEARS HOW TO HAVE FUN WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY. I WILL ALWAYS HOLD DEAR THE FISHING TRIPS WE WENT ON. IN CANADA YOU WERE THE KING OF CRAPPIES, WHEN EVERYONE ELSE WAS LOOKING FOR BIG NORTHERNS AND WALLEYES. IN WISCONSIN YOU FISHED FOR WALLEYES WITH A BROKEN WRIST.

SO THANK YOU, MY UNLCE, MY GOD FATHER, MY FRIEND AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. HOWEVER WE PROBABLY WITH BE IN A NO SMOKING AND DRINKING SECTION THIS TIME.

SO LONG FOR NOW,

BOB
