As I was looking for a good friends passing, Al's name came up. I am so sorry to here about your loss. I loved Al like a father. He was everyones dad in the office. The 9 years I worked with you all as a family at the Firm, were the best times of my life. Each day Al would come in with his smile and a possitive attitude. He loved people, he certianly loved his family and he most certianly loved his beloved Lillan. All my prayers go out to you Joel, Marsha ,Linda, and everyone at Yanchuck and Berman. Al will be sorely missed. God Bless each of you.

Dear Marsha, I am so sorry to read of your father's passing and that your mother predeceased him. We have lost touch for many years but I have not forgotten how kind your family was to me and Jerry when we were struggling in St. Pete after leaving UF. I moved to Inverness last year from Miami and saw the announcement in the St Pete Times. I have thought of you many times and wondered where you were. I remember vividly my trip to visit you in CA. Please let me know you are well. With deepest sympathies to you, Joel and Linda.

Joel, Marsha, and Linda:

I am deeply saddened to hear the news of Al's passing. Your Dad was always so kind and loving to me, as well as to others. I absolutely adored him, and he knew it. I will never forget the huge smile on his face when he met my husband, because he didn't want "this little Jewish girl to stay single" as he said to me many times. "Find a nice Jewish boy". :-) He always brought a smile to my face and to everyone around him. The world is going to miss him dearly. My thoughts, and prayers go out to you and the entire family during this difficult time. We will say the Mourner's Kaddish for him here in North Carolina.

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. Amen. With much love, xoxoxo

Dear Joel, Marsha and Linda: My deepest condolences on the loss of your father. I treasure each day that I continue to have my parents with me and, having lost my brother, know how difficult this time can be. I prayed for Al every night during his last week, and continue to do so now for all of your family. God Bless You All.
