Dear Larry and Mark,



I dismayed to learn only today,

Sept. 9th, of Ben's passing away.

I surely would have attended the

funeral. In fact, I was looking

forward to our next lunch date.

Our family expresses our sincere condolences. May the happy memories

you have be a source of comfort

to you now. Ben is in our hearts.

To the Ordower family, my condolences on the passing of your Father.

Larry, when you told me that your Dad played cribbage, I called Him and was dismayed to find that He was a Gin Rummy player, we had several conversations after that; unfortunately though we lived a scant two streets away, we never did meet face to face. I regret that we didn't get to play cards just one time.
