My great buddy Abe. We did so much together. So many good times with Sonny and others. You are one of the best of men. I never saw you that you weren't happy-always smiling, never angry. What a great life you had. I think of you and our happy youth often. We're in Florida, so I won't make it to your funeral. Condolences to your family. And, of course, to Barney, Mary Jane, and Anna from your cousin.
