I will never forget the very wonderful relationship he had with both my parents, Ira and Doris. Both Cy and Barbara were with us at so many special times in my family’s life, going back 39 years to my own wedding. Cy’s death is an especially sad one. I can only imagine how much all of you will miss him.

Cy was a gentleman and a gentle man, deeply committed to his Judaism, his community and most of all to his family. He was indeed a person to emulate. His loss will be felt by many.
Our condolences to Barbara and the entire family. May his memory be a blessing.

The sad news came as a great shock to me having known Cy and having the memories of his friendship and partnership with my late husband Charles. May his memory be a blessing to all his family and those who are the beneficiaries of his generosity.
