May 7, 2015 at 8:14 amYour Dad Jack was my boss at Century Factors back in 1975-1980
and his secretary Betty we all sat side by side. Jack was the Best Boss anyone could ask for. I learned so much from him which carried on into my career in Credit, I was only 24 at the time. I will never forget the fun and laughter we shared and I admired his intelligence and keen sense of humor to match. We would eat lunch occasionally in Bryant Park and people watch and poke fun, he was so well read, and worldly. I was inspired and learned so much about the Opera and books and his travels to Greece especially, when he rode on a donkey… the way he described his adventure was to funny. Jack always talked so lovingly about his children and Josephine and at that time I recall Maxine was his girlfriend and I see they married..that’s so nice.
My deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to your family.
