My mother, Sally Goodgold (d. 2011) was a neighbor in your parents building. Your father was incredible nice to me and my mother after the loss of my beloved father. Your parents welcomed us into your home on Shabbos.My mother also on her way to Shul always saw your father on Saturday morning with a friendly hello. He was always beyond nice to me when I saw him visiting my mother in the building. I remember your father fondly, as a scholar in Judaism and so proud of his sons, I am deeply sorry for your loss. May his memory be for a blessing.
