Marcus, we just wanted to express our sincere condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father. Although it was only briefly and but a few times I met your Dad in the store while working with you on a watch or a ring I liked him and thought he was a very nice man. You were kind to me when my Dad passed away a couple of years ago and helped to restore and preserve a precious keepsake ring of his so I just wanted to wish you and your family well through this sad time of loss.
Best wishes,
Scott & Lisa Davidow

I met your father when I sold him Enesco musicals at trade show in Atlantic City and we traded jokes back and forth ,,,I was thinking of him and looked him up online and was saddened by the news....It was fate that he popped into my mind after 15 years and he touched me like he touched so many others Gary [email protected]

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
