Dear Lynne,
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I remember seeing him at your parent's house on the many occasions that our grade school club had meetings. I'm so glad you were able to have him for so many years.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
Sincerely,
Joyce Metcalfe Bond

I read with sadness the news of the death of your father. Although more years than I want to admit have intervened since I knew your family, I remember all of you with pleasant memories. Your father was the gentle man described in his obituary. May he rest in peace.

May you be comforted by your good memories of your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Don Belofsky was a wonderful person; I had the honor of teaching with him at Anshe Sholom. May his memory be for a blessing.

So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. From the time I was 4 he was always my pal at the temple that I use to sit with quite a bit. He is a distant cousin on my mom's side. I was truly lucky to have known your mom and dad through the years. Our condolences are with your family at this time.
