Myron was my father's first friend upon moving to Connecticut from the Bronx & for decades upon decades going forward.I recall our family walking to the synagogue with Myron to attend High Holiday Services at Temple Beth Tefilah in East Hartford. During those childhood days looking back the memories flood me with love thinking about the generous spirit of both Myron & Estelle in making us old New Yorkers feel at home in what to us was the strange beautiful land of New England. Mindful prayerful thoughts to Estelle & all the family. We will forever hold Myron's blessed memory in our hearts.
