I told him the other day that our 58 year marriage has been a glorious journey of laughter and tears.  We felt incredibly lucky to have found each other.  We should all celebrate this amazing man who touched so many people.  We all thought he would live forever - and he will, in the hearts of all who loved him.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his honor to Advocates for Children of New Jersey, acnj.org, would be appreciated.
