As a former Necchi employee, I was
saddened to read of the passing of Leon Jolson. Inspite of his success, he remained humble, and aware of his
beginnings. I was proud to work for him. May the good memories bring
consolation to you and yours. Peter

Our sympathy to the Blumenthal family. My father and I were friends of Leon from the Necchi sewing business many years ago. My father, Nick, died in 1984 and my mother, Emily Tacony, is still living at age 94 in St. Louis.
