Even today, he was one of the most genuine, gifted people I have ever had the extreme pleasure of being with-/He and my dad were college roommates at the Wharton St and when Daf passed in 12 years ago. I am told that Jay actually cried . One hell if a true American.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I read Jay's obituary in today's Newark Star Ledger and I extend my condolences to the Kislak family.My late parents Herbert Weinberg,CPA and Lorraine Weinberg were long time friends. I remember when I was teenager spending a July 4th holiday at Jay's house in NJ My father worked with his father Harry Weinberg CPA for many years in Hoboken NJ. My father decided to leave their practice to work for the Kislak Organization and moved with his family to Florida to work with Jay.The Kislak and Weinberg families go back more than 60 years. My name is Lee Weinberg and I live in Livingston NJ. I retired in 2016 after working as a CPA for 50 years.
