Dear Barry and Michael, I'm very sorry to hear of Uncle's passing. I have many fond memories of Uncle Henry revolving around ice cream cakes at all the various parties he attended. He was so proud to turn 90. He will truly be missed. Our prayers are with you.

Barry,Michael and family,
We are sorry for the loss of your father. He was a good loving uncle to our family. One thought that comes to mind is how he would call me over when he would visit us on Column ave. "young man come here". He is in our prayers and will be dearly missed.
