A hard worker, provided for all of his wives and daughters, loved his religion and his Brooklyn shul.
In my childhood, when his oldest daughter Rose was not doing well, I was happy for his weekly visits to us on Lenox Rd.
He took two buses, shlepping groceries and danish from Shlukers. I whined to him about the raisins, but he never said a word when I would pull them out of the cake part!
He smoked Camel cigarettes, but cut them in half to gradually & successfully quit, obeying his doctor.
Grandpa had a quiet dignity about him. He was always well dressed in a suit in tie.
In his later years daughter MIRIAM /MIMI arranged for him to move from DeKalb Ave to a Retirement Residence on the boardwalk in Long Beach, NY. Visits to him there with Charlie, Rose and the girls was when I first saw him in a short sleeve shirt!
He left us with strong values of responsibility to family and community.
Thank Gd he came to this country, labored hard for years to bring his family here. So now we remember him. He brought all of us over!
