Uncle Maury...for all those years that your generosity made it possible for a little kid (and later a grown man) to enjoy so many,many years of Skins' football from the best seats in the house, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Peggy Jean and I both love our Uncle Maury and Aunt Jean.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go...others stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same. Maury and Jean, our lives have been enrichened because of your friendship.

I will cherish the times we spent together building trophies, telling stories, and riding all over Md. looking for good Jewish rye (and eating most of it before getting home) but most of all the true friendship that came from this very kind and generous man. Every time I eat a pickle I will think of you my friend. "Get in the car Moe". Jean my deepest condolences

Maury was a very special man and will be missed by everyone who knew him. We knew him as a friend and neighbor for almost 19 years, always a smile and never an unkind word -- Maury, if you have your eye on us we will miss you and you will always be part of our memories. Jean we are here for you if you need anything....

I will always remember long boat rides on the bay, late evening ham sandwiches, jars of pickles and peppers sent home with us each year. You will be so missed Maury by so many.
Jean I won't say 44 years was enough..a 100 wouldn't have been, but I am so happy for you that you found in your life what most people never do...the love of your life, your best friend and your soul mate.
With all my love,
Your Cousin,

We will miss our neighbor, Maury. He was a strong but gentle man and a gentleman. I will always remember "Hi doll" and his bringing me a very large tomato or pepper from the farm stand, and I will always remember his love for antipasto. (Remember the feast, Maury?). Jean, my sorrow is deep and my heart is with you. Love always, Anita

Maurey, my brother-in-law, good friend and a very special person in my life for the past 40 years; always asked how I was doing, even when I called to wish him Happy Birthday, just a few days before his passing. I know he is with God and will miss his gentleness. I love you Jean and always will be here for you.

Maury was my Uncle, and a great one indeed! One of my fondest memories was as a child. Everytime I visited my Auntie Jean and Maury the 1st thing I wanted to do was to go out to their car and open the trunk. Maury always carried toys in his trunk for me and my siblings! He always was ready to take us to the car and pick out a toy! Maury was consistently gentle and nice. I am proud to say he is and will always be my favorite Uncle.

Anyone who knew Maury was given the gift of knowing a genuine and gentle man. Phil and I will treasure the time he shared with us. Jean, was given a rare, fine and perhaps flawless gem named...Maury. May God's Grace lead the family to a place of peace and comfort. We will remember you in the blue skies...

Every time Maury enters my mind, I feel warm inside and a smile crosses my face.
I have met very few true gentlemen in my life and Maury is at the top of the list.
Jean, Maury and I shared many chicken wings at The Dolphin and Jensen Beach Ale House.
I highly value our time together...and Jean? You had yourself one hell of a man for many years, my friend!
I love you!!!

Maury will sorely missed. He was one of the most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to have met. It was an honor to have been counted as one of his friends. I love him like family. My heart felt condolences to Jean and his entire family.

I want to send this message, words of condolences, to all of Maury's family. Nothing can minimize you loss, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Maury was a very special human being. He never falied to show kindness and to try to bring a smile to all who had the priviledge to meet or know him.
A life well lived is a very splendid memorial to one's time on Earth. He is irreplacable. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
