LORING MANDEL Obituary

MANDEL--Loring D., Age 91, of Lenox, Massachusetts, passed away on March 24, 2020. Born in Chicago on May 5, 1928 to Julius and Frieda Mandel, he was a brother to Charlotte Browning and was predeceased by his brother, Richard Mandel. He was a much-beloved husband to Dorothy for 69 years, cherished father to his sons Alan and Josh and his daughters-in-law Ellen and Laura, and adored grandfather to Hannah, Eliza, and Natalie. He enjoyed a very successful 50-year career as a playwright, and was an avid painter, but his greatest love was his family. He will be deeply, sorely missed by all who knew him. Contributions may be made in his name to HospiceCare in the Berkshires, 877 South Street Suite 1W, Pittsfield, MA 01201.

I always enjoyed talking to Loring about many things going on in our world. He had so much insight regarding so many events. I was proud to have Loring as my cousin for my almost 90 years.

I see Loring as a man of modest brilliance, optimistic, cheerful, helpful and kind. His passing is a great loss to those who had the privilege of interacting with him. My deepest sympathy goes to Dorthy, his wife and my friend.

Loring was a dear friend and my mentor on the Newsletter, always improving my writing with suggestions for a word here and there in my articles. I visited the Mandels in August and so enjoyed Dorothy's and Loring's wit and jolly hospitality!
