Dear Evie and family, You have my deepest sympathy, from the days on 43rd to 47th and Oakley to Augusta National, Al was always the best. I truly considered him much more than a customer and a very good friend. Tim Finerty

Dear Evie and family,
Although we've been out of touch for so many years, I feel deeply for your loss. At least I was able to see you, Evie, and Alan a few years ago when my husband and I were in Chicago and we did have some email contact.

Sarah (Zamonsky) Gerskup.

Dear Sherri, Elana, Michael & "Mom", Your Dad was the best. Thank you for letting me feel like a part of your family for so many years. When Sherri and I were younger, he was always there for us with a joke, a smile, a hug and advice! He was a smart and successful businessman who always stayed humble. Most importantly, he was a family man who loved all of you unconditionally. I am lucky to have known him. I am sorry for your tremendous loss. All our prayers and love are with you and your entire family.

I offer my condolences to the Berman Family. May your memories of happy times and the comfort that only God can give ease your grief during this time. God's word reminds us that it is His will that we live forever in the abundance of peace and exquisite delight under His Kingdom that is soon to come to this earth. Please read Matthew 6:10 and Psalm 37:11 and 29 and I pray you will find a measure of encouragement in these scriptural thoughts.
