Dear Laurie, Geryl & Family,
My deepest condolences go out to you.I remember Sol's Luncheonette and all the great times I had there. I even remember my brother, Gary, working there and having a funny incident with Muriel Kaplan. Your mom & dad just cracked up. If you are ever in Las Vegas, or want to talk, please do. With my best wishes,

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family...Growing up in Woodridge Sol's Restaurant was a "landmark" which everyone patronized and loved. I'll miss your Mom's cabbage soup; lime rickey's (cold drink) in the summer and all the other delicious home cooked meals. Lot's of fond memories!
