S. Theodore Blumenfeld, self-described "wily mentor" to the grizzled homunculus Jay W. Barnett will be sorely missed. All those business deals, "3 for 2" sub lunches at Lee's. Working with Mortifying Morty and Malcolmizing Malcolm. Turning JL's stories into the truth. An endlessly proud father, speaking of his children's accomplishments. His life lessons and social guidance(How to handle a woman). He taught me everything I know. My respects to his family.
