  • Introduction

    My father was the youngest of seven children. He was very close to his mother, who wanted him to become a rabbi. My father wasn't interested, however. When he was a boy, his family moved from Canada to the Bronx. He met my mother, Mildred, when he was in his late teens and they married when he was 23 - 24. They had a very good marriage until my mother passed away at age 66. My father told my sister and me that our mother was the "love of his life". My father remarried a couple of years after my mother passed away and lived in Commack, NY with his second wife until she put him into a nursing home in Hauppage, NY. My father's interests were varied, but he especially enjoyed golf, reading and music. He used to read in a lilac tree when he was a boy. He was a wonderfully, graceful dancer and he and my mother danced beautifully together. My father had great respect and admiration for women and saw us as superior to men. My father was a loving, gentle, understanding man whom everyone liked. He, also, had a wonderful sense of humor. My father taught everyone in the family, who was interested, to play golf. I was his regular golf buddy from ages 10 - 13, or so, and played golf with him, occasionally, until he could no longer play. As I said in his eulogy, my father was the perfect father for me as he was optimistic and encouraging and thought that I was multitalented. In my father's mind, I was, at least, the equal of any man. In that significant respect, my father was way ahead of his time. RIP dear Dad.
