February 17, 2024 at 1:55 pmDear John,
Sorry to read about the loss of your father. I do remember him, although your mother Rachel was who I had the most interaction with at school and she completed some alterations for me. Such an excellent seamstress! I remember your smiling face in my class – either second or third grade at Donley Elementary. You were a joy to have in class! You must be in your 40s or 50s by now, I’d have to look back at class photos to figure that out. It’s hard to believe it’s been so many years since your dear mother passed. My deepest sympathy on the loss of your father. I’m sure your will miss him greatly as I do my parents.

February 17, 2024 at 10:51 pmDear Michelle and John, we are very sorry to hear of your dad Milton passing. We only met him a few times in Toronto and in California, but we keep with us very sweet memories of the time we spent together. Milton was so sweet with my parents and showed them a good time, got my Dad to go horseback riding for the first time and had some good laughs. My dad was so proud of his American cousins. This is what I willl keep in my heart when I think of your parents. May you be comforted by happy memories of them.

February 18, 2024 at 11:19 amDear Michelle and John,
So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. You both are in my heart as you begin to navigate life without both parents. I have been there, too, and I miss mine every day as I know you already do. Your family was always an important part of our family. I was thinking of all the holidays spent together and especially, today, was remembering all the trips in your Dad’s camper. We had so much fun and he was so proud of it. I wish I could be there with you both.
Love,
Marcy (Goldstein) Pellegrino

February 18, 2024 at 6:01 pmJohn/Miche, our heartfelt sympathies for the passing of your father. We remember him for many things, not the least of which was taking in our family when our dad was deployed during the Vietnam War until our mother could find a place to lease. We have many fond memories of celebrating holidays together.

February 20, 2024 at 2:52 pmDear John and Michelle,
Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved father. Both he and your mom, Rachel, contributed time, energy, and skills to their Shaarey Zedek “family.”
In later years Milt helped out wherever he was needed. He especially liked being a “Greeter” at the door for Friday night services, welcoming all with warmth and humor.
Milt will be greatly missed by all who loved him. May his memory be a blessing.
