Olefsky family: Sorry to hear about your loss. Although it's been years since we've seen each other, the wonderful memories of the family is a bond that will always hold us together. When I hear of someone from the older generation passing on, my mind goes back to the Bezel Olefsky family club meetings and picnics where we really got a chance to get to know who are family was. Enjoy your memories and keep them alive forever!

Dear Les & Family:
I am so terribly sorry to hear that Sol has passed away. I do remember Sol so vividly from 45 years ago. He was always a smiling and encouraging person. I am seeing his smiling face as I write this note. I will truly be thinking about you all.
Big Hugs,

After knowing "Doc" for 49 years, it's come to my attention that merely because of that, I am a better man, better husband, better father and better friend. Much of the wisdom and insight I've gained I attribute directly to hanging out with this generous and kind soul..... there can be no other like Doc.
