Five years ago today, I lost you—and a part of me changed forever. You weren’t my dad by blood, but you chose to love me, and that meant everything. Being your stepdaughter was something I was always proud of.
You showed me what quiet strength looked like. You made me feel accepted, protected, and part of a family. Those things don’t disappear with time or death—they live on in me.
I still miss you. I still think of you. And today, more than ever, I honor the place you hold in my heart. Thank you for loving me as your own and for being the father figure I needed.
Forever remembered. Forever missed. Forever loved. 🤍

Life is just not the same without you.  I truly miss life with you there is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you.  
Love you Always,
Rosanne

I am so sorry Roseanne …just now seeing this sad news…Aaron was the finest attorney I have ever known and I told him this on more than one occasion.  A great person just gone much too soon.  We will 
Always remember you for all the goodness & light you put out in this world.  Leslie & Darryl Crites

Aaron was a one of a kind.. We were as well we met love at first sight and was Happily married for 31 years..  I miss him daily.. Life without him is very empty he made my life go around he was a special man .. I miss and love him so much.. There is no one like him that mold was thrown away!! Love you Aaron miss you much

Each time I play over a game of chess in the basement of our study, I remember the many competitive games Aaron and I played there.

It was always a joy.  And it is always a joy to remember those days,  But it is also so very sad.

Peace.

Aaron was one of my favorite clients. He made every meeting fun. He loved is family deeply and was the best to just sit and talk to. He had great  collections and even better stories to share. I have missed our conversations and I am heartbroken for all that knew him and miss him. Rosanne,  I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love and strength your way. 

My dad meant the world to me. We have so many memories that I will always cherish. You taught me so much in life. The assignment notebook you told me everyday faithfully TREAT IT LIKE A FINE PIECE OF JEWELRY. The blinking eyes that’s when I knew you were mad. Taking me to get ice cream. The one think you would never forget is the basket a wooden basket mind  you I put it in the oven. I could go on and on. I want to thank you for everything you did for me.I miss you so much but I know your in a better place. You will always have a place in my heart you will never be forgotten i love you very much it’s never goodbye it’s I will see you on the other side love your one and only daughter 

Aaron grew up just a street away from us.  He would come to our house in the evenings and we would talk and play chess, usually for hours.  He got better and better, and it was such great fun.  Then  he got his law degree,  married and moved away.   However, whenever he came back to our town to visit his parents and friends, he would stop in for a game or two or three....
Aaron was not just a friend.  He shared  joy.

I never had many cases with Aaron but the few I had amply proved that he was a dedicated and crafty advocate for his client.  He will be sorely missed in the community of attorneys.

I was Aaron's court reporter.  We started together.  He was an intern with Bill Gartenberg and I was interning with my mother as a court reporter.  He always used me or my service throughout his career.  He was nice and always respectful.  He was always immaculately dressed.  He was prepared for his cases and always covered as much as he needed to cover.    
He would sit down and talk to me as a person before and after depositions, which I would appreciate.  
I one time put stamps on his envelope and he was thrilled because he said he was a stamp collector.   From then on, I put stamps on all is envelopes and every time I put a stamp on an envelope to a lawyer today, I think of Aaron's passion.
I lost a job one day when my machine was stolen.  He was kind and considerate and told me about the time he lost a file.
I have the fondest memories of Aaron.  I am glad he was a part of my life.

Aaron-My deepest sorrow. You know that they have a special chess game in Heaven.  I am sure you will find it.  I will always remember you for the short time in life we spent together. Rest in peace. My condolences to all parts of your family. May the feel the jpy that you brought them here on Earth.  Ilene

Aaron, you made law school more interesting and enjoyable, and I would have had a tough time making it through without you.

You were always a dependable friend, and I'll miss you terribly.

Aaron and I first met in middle school, and we were friends ever since.  While we had Chess in common through High School, after that our interests and conversations centered on our educations, careers, and families.  Aaron was smart and funny, laughed often, and was always good company.  He was a wonderful man and a great friend, and I will miss him.  Our condolences to Rosanne and her family, Debbie and her family, and Aaron’s Mother Eileen.

Aaron was a true mensch. 
The best thing is... he wasn't a typical lawyer.  He was a friend and always there to help when he was called upon.  
RIP and practice law in the above.

We met Aaron through our son, Doug, when he started playing chess. Aaron and several other friends, took Doug under their wing and chaperoned him on several out of town trips.

We have always considered Aaron  our friend, during the past thirty six years Judy and I have known him. Aaron will be missed as the gentleman and person he was.

Judy and Don Eckert


Aaron was a beautiful soul.  I remember when I asked him why he chose to be a lawyer, he said he wanted to help his friends... and that he did.

Rest In Peace my dear friend, it’s well deserved.... until we meet again...
