Sorry -- but just stumbled onto this and hoped someone's left to appreciate it. From 1948. Barry's there, and Bobby, and mom Dorothy, and other neighbors from Lyndale Street. A different time. Alan Solomon (the kid sitting lower right).

Dearest Gordon Family, so very sorry for your loss. Barry, the best and so are you. May you be comforted and find peace as you celebrate his brilliant and compassionate life.

Psalm 121
I lift my eyes to the mountains; What is the source of my help?
My help comes from Adonai, Maker of heaven and earth.
God will not let your foot give way; your Protector will not slumber.
See, the Protector of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps!
God is your Guardian, God is your protection at your right hand.
The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
God will guard you from all harm God will guard your soul, your going and coming, now and
forever.

Dear Bob, Marilyn and the Gordon Family,

It is with deep sorrow that I read about your brothers passing away. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Just remember all the good things in life (ie) the 3 of us and Phil Rosenberg sharing that small locker at Roosevelt.
Dem were the fun days altho we probably didn't realize it then.

Fondly,
