My dear wonderful Uncle Yozzie. Such great memories - always a cheerie loving greeting,a song for me, or a tune on his harmonica. He will surely be missed, but we know he is now with the love of his life my Aunt Felicia. May they both rest in peace now together again.

Fern, David and Steven,
Dearest cousins, my heart goes out to you. We all loved Yozzie for all the right reasons: he was a warm and friendly man, a great family man, a man of good humor (and with great stories), and always welcoming no matter how long between visits.
So sorry I cannot come up to visit, but know that you are in my heart and prayers.

I was so saddened to learn of Yozzi's passing just now. What strong memories I have of him jawing with Yonkel (my dad J.Jack) at Old Colony mostly about those damned Yankees. I don't remember too many times that Yoz wasn't sitting on his beach chair with the newspaper spread out before him, and always with a smile for everyone. May the entire family be at peace with the knowledge that he is reunited with Felicia.
