I have many great memories of Whitey. I'm so glad that I set foot into the old Fazen bar 30 years ago. Whitey, Jeff, & Brian always made for a fun visit. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

July 7, 2014

Whitey was one of my dads friends. I thought he was as nice as he was funny. I just had seen Whitey and his sister Janice and had reminded Whitey that I can still picture him in his bright yellow swim trunks with a big smiley face on them. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Whitey was my first crush and my forever friend. He was always there for me. He could make me smile no matter what the circumstances and I always knew he had my back. Through it all, he never changed. I will miss him tremendously. God Bless the Nisenbaum family. May the many memories you have of Whitey comfort you during this difficult time.

Whitey will be in my heart forever. We lived across the street for 10 years. He babysat my kids, lived with us for a while when he was a teenager and a forever best friend to my "little sister" Sharon. I got to see him a week before he passed and he was the same ol' Whitey. Made me laugh. Love you little boy. Your second mom
