Your father was a class act in high school. I wouldn't say I knew him well but he was always kind. I am heartsick he would be taken from you so soon.

Neil, along with his sister Wendy, were my students in French at Waldwick High School, and I considered his parents friends. I send my most sincere condolences and best wishes to his family.
