To Judy, Pamela, and Jeff: Although we saw Paul infrequently, he always greeted us as warmly as though he had just visited with us the day before. Your remembrances at his funeral service touched us and reminded us of some of the things we missed by not knowing Paul better. He leaves a powerful legacy...and a strong, loving family to perpetuate his memory. Warm wishes.

Judy like Gil I went to school with both Paul and Fred. I am sorry to here of his loss and have many found memories of him. Paul and I graduated from both Grammer and High School together. We not only played together we lived next door to each other on Claremont Ave. We lost track of each other years ago however I often reminise with others about the days we grew up together.

Paul and Fred were highschool friends, in fact almost 56 years ago this June
Fred was the best man at our wedding. Marlene and I are still married and recall the Kopelmans with lasting friendship even though we lost track of their whereabouts some many years ago. Our deepest condolences to the Kopelman family.
