maury
saw a note from you late Dec 2023, was in a rush so barely read it - when I looked again 3-4 wks later, it was gone,  you’d clearly removed it -

your note suggested wanting to make peace for past misdeeds in the 1990s, after being on good terms the prior 20 years or so -  
you’d been a good colleague in my group in nyc, until going off the rails for reasons only you know -
truly regret not catching your note before it was removed / deleted,  concluded it was meant to be -

am sure rick p, our long ago colleague,  will be sorry to hear of your demise, when I let him know - he is in brasil, still mourning the loss of his college going daughter in a car crash - 

rest in peace, rick, and may the gods watch over you & bless you …

Don't have many words to share as this hit me and all of us hard.  Maury taught me, with his quiet intensity to take data in all its forms seriously.  Also, to consider it's use and impact with the gravity it deserves.

I still remember our "arguments" about data we needed and having to justify why we needed it and after all the pushback a test table will show up and he will ask us to test it.  He surprised and delighted when it was least expected.  And he listened with intensity and caring in his own way.

I can still him pace the floor pondering problems with a forehead crease or lecturing with a whiteboard about data structures.  When I moved on, I missed working with him as he could make complex data models materialize like magic.

Maury, Rest in the great data beyond arguing with the angels on how to structure the data mart  of the  celestials

Maury was one of a kind. Brilliant and passionate. Multi-talented. A character. I will miss him. 

My condolences to his family and friends.

Oh My Brother, My Brother
Oh my brother, my brother
My older brother
My only brother

I walked in line behind you
Tracing your steps
The footprints I followed
Were hallowed
And carefully tread

Or directions diverged
Vectors on different angles
But the bond complete
Proved the paradox
Parallel lines do meet

Playing, fighting, partying,
Working, traveling, conversing
Egypt, Florida, Poland, Odessa
A hit,a trip, much did we share
At each an every simcha
You were there

You had your struggles
Your anger and angst,
Frustrated, constrained,
Temerity and tenacity,
You sought the truth
And needed comfort, peace and serenity

My story is written
With my own ink
From you, the paper I borrowed
An ingrained impression
On how I feel and think

Maury, Maury
I used to call
My brother, my only brother
On my side, by my side
I cry, we cry,
Moshe Boruch ben Yishai
