Writing… My Heart and Soul
Please listen to the Eulogies by Peter and Lynn followed by the Rabbi Hirsch who shared Dad’s Birth Day and was his best friend - who performed the memorial services at the Trenton funeral home. He proceeded us to the grave site and did a second ceremony when we buried dad who was laid to rest along with the rest of his family.

Here are some links relevent to my Dad's life:
He nearly died in 2001. I was in the recovery hospital with him for a week. Then on my way to the airport, he called and caught me before I got there. He said, "Go to my house and turn on the TV, they bombed the world trade center." I watched the second plane hit and wrote this story; it was September 11th, 2001.
