Sonia and the Zissman Family.
Our deepest sympathy on your loss. So sorry that we did not get to spend more time with the both of you. He was always a delight to be with because of his great intellect. Please if you can let me know when his book is out as I certainly would love to read it and remember my friend of so many years Harold and Marilyn
