Dear Fishkin family-We are so sorry to hear of Henry's passing. He was my dads best friend and always made us all feel a part of your family. He was a dearly loved friend and a wonderful and positive influence in our lives. I will never forget our father/daughter dates in New York City. What fun we had! Much love and deepest sympathy to you all. Jane Dinsmore O'Keeffe
