Erica, I only recently found out about your father's passing.  I'm so sorry, he was a really nice guy from what I remember.  Please extend my condolences to the rest of your family. Ralph A.

Dear Stuart,
We are all missing you and especially as the Holiday approaches.  My Roshashana Dinner will not be the same this year.  May you Rest In Peace.  You are a "Gute Neshome".

Steven, Larry and Erica,
No words can express what me and Uncle feel for all of you. We deeply feel your pain. He has been my brother-in-law since I was 12 years old. Stuie you will always be in our hearts. We are always talking and thinking back in the Staten Island days. Great memories. Well lets all hope time heals our wounds. Stuie will be greatly missed by all his three children. Steven, Larry and Erica and deeply missed by his sister Joan, nieces and entire family. RIP Stuart Ben Maitin Our thoughts and prayeers are with all of you!

Dear Steven & Larry & Erica,

I never knew three people so lucky as are you.  You had a father who lived to do good, who lived to help people, who was impervious to the "Jones's" mentality of life.  He lived trying to make this world a better place.  I know full well that he was not perfect as a father, but I also know that no one who ever lived tried harder to be the best he could be.  I love him terribly and I am angry he died, because I was not finished telling him how much I love him and how much I need him to be with me in my life.

You are so very lucky to be one of his children because some part of him is in you - not of choice but simply because genomicly his wiring is already a part of you.  How fortunate for you.  It is like being born with a million dollars in your wallet and then having the rest of your life to decide how to spend it.

I can never feel the pain that you must be feeling, but I know how it feels to have a hole so deep inside me from losing someone that I love that it is almost too difficult to breath, because when I inhale it hurts, and when I exhale it feels like I am going to faint from the hollowness I feel inside.  It is awful.  And it can be lonely.  This hole in your heart will heal. I promise, and it will take time, but it will heal.    Please, hug your family and keep hugging them.  They love you so very much.  If they don't understand what you are going through it does not matter because they do not have to understand.  They love you, and that is enough.

Stuie, your dad, was loved by more people than I can count.  He lived simply, and he died the wealthiest man that ever lived, because he was loved.  And he is still loved and will be loved way after you, your siblings, and I die. 

Steven - the flowers were so beautiful.  It's good Uncle Stuie wasn't around to see you buy them because he would have been angry that you spent so much money on flowers for him.  You did right though, because  if he were here with me now, he would tell me that you wasted your money, and then he would also then say that that he feels so good to see that someone spent so much money on him. Such a humble man he was.

Love, Cousin Lynn

We all loved your father.  He had a heart of gold and a pure soul.  We are all blessed to have known him. 

Paul, Lynn, Jonathan and Michael

Dear friends and family. Thank you all so much for your support during this difficult time. My Dad was truly blessed to be surrounded by friend's and family as loving as all of you. A special thanks to those that went above and beyond to attend the services. We can't thank you enough for all the kind words. It was wonderful to see that my Dad left behind a legacy of hope and happiness to all those he came in contact with. Thank you so much.
