I was menachem uvel him after his mother passed while he lived on Lake Drive Terrace years ago.
Did he still have his little 2 seater 1963 Red MGB Roadster which he used to drive to work with; it’s probably worth as much as a house today.
May Sean and the rest of the family be comforted amongst all mourners of Zion & Jerusalem.
