At 90, he journeyed onward, Leaving behind a loving wife, two children, And three grandchildren who carry his light. A healer by calling, inspired by loss, He served in New York, Mass and Brooklyn, Embracing every patient with grace, Knowing the weight of pain and hope. In retirement, he thrived, Traveling, crafting, and sharing laughter, But this year brought shadows, And with courage, he faced the foe, Slipping into peace, surrounded by family. There are no goodbyes, only memories. Though he is gone, his spirit lives on, A testament to resilience, For he stood unyielding, A master of his fate, And we, his legacy, carry forth his flame.
