Send Condolence

Dear Marci. Ron and Pam It's been ages since we've been in touch. I just learned about your father's passing and wanted to send my condolences. I have found memories of spending time at your wonderful house in Mt. Lebanon during summers when Merav and I were visiting our grandparents in Pittsburgh. I also remember Marci visiting us in Israel. I hope all is well with you. May your father's memory be a blessing. Our mom is living at a senior living home in Philadelphia; her memory is going, otherwise, I'm sure she'd be in touch too. I know she and Ken were close growing up. Best wishes.

Ken introduced me to YMCA masters swimming and we car pooled to many meets in the 1990s. I remember him picking me up from his Mt Lebanon home. I’m sorry to hear of his passing. He was a friend and fellow competitor.
