I don't believe a kinder, gentler, more gentlemanly man existed. My heart goes out to all of you for your loss. I'm sorry to be unable to attend the funeral or shiva, as I am doing grandchild care in Boston.

Elaine and family...I am saddened with the news of your dear Wilbert. You are in my heart, I love you. Elaine Bursack

Marc,

Suzanne and I send our deepest sympathies regarding the passing of your father Wilbert. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Elaine nd Family,
Wilert was a gentlemen and scolar in every sense of the word. It was our pleasure to know and be with Wilbert for the time we had together.

I will miss the twinkle in Wilber'''s eyes when he did something unexpected at the bridge table, He was a real gentleman and I'll miss him.

May Willbert Kaufmann's memory be for a blessing on all he loved. May he tread with rightious feet into the Garden of Eden for that is the place of the upright.

I will so miss Wilbert even though I have not seen him in some time. He was one of my early bridge partners, always patient and encouraging me. Only his inability to keep driving to Meriden and my inability to drive to Hartford ended our bridge partnership. However, my affection for Wilbert remains for all time. To me, Wilbert always embodied the best of Jewish men, a real mensch, kind, unassuming and generous. My condolences to all family and friends.

Dear Elaine - We are so sorry for your loss. Wilbert was such a nice and sweet man.

Dear Elaine and family,
I am saddened to hear about the loss of your husband and father. Another life time member of Tikvoh is laid to rest. I am glad that I had the chance to see him once again back in July, 2012 when my mother passed and he came to make the Minyan...He was so cute when he walked in and said "Do you remember me? I am Wilbert Kaufmann, you may remember my son Marc from Tikvoh in hebrew school, and do you know I am 92 years old?" Sweet, soft spoken, tall, intelligent, warm hearted gentle man ...Mr. Kaufmann may you rest in peace and may your family find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have made with them through the years.

To Elaine, Marc, and families. Wilbert was a great person to be related to. I can't forget his permanent laughter. I'll miss him a lot. Please take good care of yourselves. Avigdor
