Dear Amy, Tina, and family, Please accept our deepest condolences on the death of your beloved Father and Grandfather. He was one of my Mom's first cousins (Anne Clare Kramer). There were many first cousins in the Clare, Wolf, Styler, Gellin, Fishberg ,and Friedman families and your Dad was one of the youngest. Mom had so many wonderful memories of growing up in the Hartford area with these cousins who were more like siblings than cousins. We remember your Mom and Dad coming to our wedding and I always thought that they were quite the handsome and sweet couple. May the wonderful memories that you have of your beloved Dad and Grandfather sustain you at this most difficult time. Carol and Paul Leiman

Dear Amy & Tina....

I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of your dad....My parents were the closest of friends with both "Uncle Al" and "Aunt Beth"....These names were honorably & affectionately bestowed on them and have been used by my brothers, sisters, & I for our entire lives....They were 2 very special people....

Sending love & strength to you both....Julie Rosow

Dear Amy and Tina,
You two don’t know me but I had to tell you how sorry we were to hear about your Dad’s passing. My husband Michael shopped at Harmacs since he was a little boy. His Mother took him shopping back then but then when we were married in 1976 I woukd go in with him. Your Dad was always so welcoming to us and we always loved talking to him in the store about everything. He was such a nice man. If he had to do any alterations he would stay as long as he needed to do Michael would have what he needed. My husband always waited until the last minute but your Dad always came through. With Harmacs so close by and such a nice small store like that, it sure beat going to a mall. The service your Dad extended to everyone it coukdnt be beat. We will always have wonderful memories of your Dad with smiles remembering his warm and friendly way about him. May his memory be for a blessing. Shelley and Michael Levy .

Amy and Tina so sorry for your loss..

I was so sorry to hear of Al's passing. My parents, Carol and Irv Cohen ( and then my stepdad, Jerry Radeen, were dear friends of Beth and Al. I will always remember how kind, and funny they both were. Condolences to all of you.

Special memories of a special guy...

Such a great guy, my parents were friends with him.
The family got lots of suits and clothes there!

Shopped at Harmacs during the 50's and 60's, either Al or Tommy Brown took care of my needs. Always enjoyed shopping there.

Al was a good friend .I wish i got to know him sooner.

A truly fine man. He treated me like royalty when I shopped at Harmac’s beginning at age 13. He made a difference in so many lives.

Dear Amy, Tina and families. I am so sorry for your great loss. I first met Al in the mid 1960s. We played golf together countless times and had lunch together even more times. During the past 12 months, every time we spoke on the phone, Al couldn’t wait for the time when I would be able to come to Brookdale to be his guest for lunch. I shall truly miss him. He was a great guy, and great friend to so many. May his memory bring you joy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I've known him my whole life through his connection to my dad. Every time I think of Al, I see him with a big smile on his face. I hope memories of that smile will bring comfort to your family through this sad time. He was a great guy.

So sorry for your loss. I spent so much of my childhood with the Friedman family. Al & Beth have given me wonderful memories. Sending lots of love to Tina, Amy & all the family. ♥️
