Tamar I just read your post on your grandfather.
You were obviously very lucky to have such a wonderful man in your life.
Oh and on a side note, your grandfather had an impact on my family as well.
When I was young we lived about two minutes from where Young Israel of Kew Garden Hills. To be more precise, it was 150 Street and 71 Avenue in the old Dara Gardens building (not sure if you know where those were).
Anyway my younger brother went to daycare they had there as well as had his bar mitzva there. My parents use to know Rabbi Schonfeld at the time as well.
Never knew that your grandfather was behind it all. Small world.
He was indeed a great and loving man.

What a powerful tribute and lovely to read. I lost my wonderful 65 year-old dad (also a non-smoker) to lung cancer. What a strange club to belong to – those who have lost someone so dear.

Really beautiful.

I lost my Grandma in July. ‘Mamma’ was a coal mining “wife” so knew her share of hardship. She was a member of the Red Hat Society, and was very proud for her group getting kicked out of Denny’s for “disrupting” the restaurant – this when she was 85. She made people laugh and would take on anyone in debate about politics and life. I learned more from her than from any person in the world, without a question. Wow, it hurts when they’re gone.

The 1st time around I left no comment. Maybe you needed it the most then. If so, I’m sorry. In either case stopping to read this post again I want to assure you life didn’t “just go on” after he left. Thanks to you he was thought of then and is remembered now. Through your post he inspires me to be better, to be my best. And your own reminding again adds a human touch to our “virtual” world.

Thank you for sharing.

Tamar, it’s taken me 3 times coming to your site to leave a comment because I’ve had such a hard time getting through this post without getting choked up. Your memories of your grandfather are beautiful and it seems like you had a terrific relationship. I wish you and your family as much comfort as possible during this really hard time, and I hope you get past the grief and onto the happy memories as quickly as possible. Our thoughts are with you!
