You know, I've come into this thread over a dozen times these last three days and each time left writing nothing. Today I have to.
I never met Moshe, but I knew him for 16 years. Some may say how well can you know someone having not met them, let's see, this is how well I know him.
I know he was well read, that didn't take long to work out. Not that long ago I saw a picture of his library, I mean, the man had a library and not just a couple of shelves, I'm pretty sure I saw a ladder on wheels.
I know he loved robust discussion, especially when he was right. When Moshe was right it was a sight to behold, sit back and watch some poor sap receive a lesson.
I've spoken to many people over the last 16 years, who have had the privilege and great pleasure of meeting Moshe, everyone told me what a beautiful human he was and not everyone lies.
There's only one thing Moshe loved more than Carlton and that's his family, I never met Moshe but I knew that family was everything to him.
To his girls and the single most important person in his life, Helene, I offer my sincerest condolences. Moshe will never be forgotten and will forever remain a part of our family here.
I will miss that big smiling face and that warmth that he was able to convey in just a small paragraph.
I never met Moshe but you know what I'm pretty sure I knew him.
Rest In Peace my brother.
P.S. to Pat, my condolences mate, hope you're keeping well and staying strong, take care please.
That's absolutely beautiful, tommi. I think you summed it up perfectly, as you often do.
The lack of dots just adds to the poignancy for mine.
