Dear Abraham, I'm heartbroken you're gone so soon. I will miss our wonderful conversations and how we shared a love for politics and motion pictures. Your sense of humor was charming and your knowledge endless. I will never forget our trip to Stockbridge and the Norman Rockwell Museum, it was such a splendid day and it was wonderful to see you so happy amidst your failing health! That day and those memories are priceless!! You were so good to us kids and always tried to help each and every one of us to the best of your ability and for that I can't thank you enough. You will be missed dearly...until we meet again RIP <3
