Very sorry to hear of Saul's Death. Played Softball with him for the last 5 years or so. I liked him. I respected his devotion to his wife during her battle with dementia.

So sad to see This notice today! Saul was a wonderful co-worker when I worked at the social Security Office in Porterville. He never failed to have a sense of humor and good will. He was the one who made us all laugh with his "Yes My child?" saying. He made working in such stressful situations fun and enjoyable. RIP, old friend.

I worked with Saul years ago at Davis Typewriter Company. He always had a positive attitude and he was a thoughtful and compassionate man. Good memories of Saul.
