Wonderful friend to Elaine Pachter. The Paterfamilias, whom generations turned to for advice. The keeper of traditions - Candy House, step pictures, and L.B.I. The storyteller. The connector of people and ideas. The man of multidimensions - interests, causes, and careers - who reinvented himself more than once - including going to law school and graduating in his 50's while working full time, and subsequently teaching law! And the spoon guy - who two weeks ago started expanding his antique souvenir spoon business because he wanted to keep busy. He was a WWII Veteran, a Bombardier in the Army, and truly a member of the Greatest Generation.
