Dear Jack and family....we are so sorry to hear of your great loss. Your Dad was a nice man, a mensch, and a good tailor, too. I hope you will remember the good times and that they bring you comfort.

When Mitchell was born, I was overwhelmed at the fact that Leo had survived all odds to be a great grandfather -- I will never forget the spirit that "Pa" had -- and how Joe would grin from ear to ear talking about him -- he was truly loved by all of you. Harold & I want you to know that our hearts are with you today. Roberta

Dear Fay, Joseph, and Jack, my deepest condolences to you on the loss of Leo. I met him in February of this year as a tablemate of my mother's at Alden Estates. I always enjoyed talking to him about WW 2 and the Foreign Legion. I'm sorry I never had the chance to play him in chess. He was a wonderful man and always had a smile for me.
