I just heard today of Shelley's passing...4 years later. We used to work together helping people with employment. He was an amazing man, oftentimes telling capturing stories about the past and providing feedback on ways we can help those in the future. His passion for his work, and for helping people was infectious. I think back fondly of the time we worked together and know that he is in heaven enjoying himself. His legacy is not forgotten. He used to end every voicemail with "message ends." His message of empathy, sincerity and kindness has continued on with all the job seekers we continue to serve. May you rest in peace Shelly. All my best, Lisa

My warmest condolences to Mary and Family. Shelly was an interesting
person with a kind heart. The only person I knew who was a devout Catholic with a Hebrew upbringing. RIP Shelly.
