Your dad was such a special person! I always thought of him as a rare gem, because it's rare to meet someone who touches your soul. It made me laugh to think about the time he told you he felt like he could live forever after exercising! -I can picture him saying that! He was so funny! I have so many good memories of him! He was so special to me!

Alex- he loved you so much, and was very proud of you! You were his best friend!

Your father was amazing, just like your mother. I will miss seeing your posts that featured them ‐ watching the Boilernakers with your Dad or visiting Auschwitz with your Mom - but it makes mybheart smile to know they are together once again & smiling down on you from Heaven. Thank you, Alex, for sharing your parents with me. Their legacy will live on because of you & your sister. Happy Father's Day Mickey!! Say hi to Eva for us.

Never met him. Didn't know him. But, somehow, I now know him like my brother!

Brought tears to my eyes. I miss him. What a great man and how blessed you were. Tried to subscribe to letter. It wouldn't let me. Love you.

Al, you are indeed a lucky guy. Remarkable parents. Wish I could have spent more time with your Dad.

Thanks for creating these happy tears,

I feel like I knew him, between your stories and the person you became. I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of his humor, kindness and ethics. Your parents shared alot with you, thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
