It's hard to believe it was over 50 years ago we were engaged to be married. I was buddies with you since junior high and you wrote in my high school yearbook your phone number and told me to call you if I ever break up with Carol. Well, shortly thereafter I called you. You and your family moved to Florida and we got engaged. My terrible disposition at that age and your mother Fanny got in the way. I proceeded to go on and go the straight and narrow and grow up and mature after volunteering to fight with he IDF during the Yom Kippur War and stayed in Israel for a while. Years later by coincidence my sister and brother-in-law was invited to your wedding and you asked my brother-in-law not to mention our engagement, etc. I guess our friendship and engagement was a secret you wished to keep. Well, I always remembered you and my wife of 45 years knows I always thought the world of you. I'm sorry to read of your passing and the loss of a very sweet person and my condolences to all of your loved ones.

I am an Old friend from Baldwin.  I even worked for her father in the Bagel store.  I had lunch with her a few years back.   I am extremely sorry to here of her passing.   She was a special person in my early life

My condolences to her family
