What's New?

Dennis and I went all through school together. He was a very kind and friendly Guy. Always there to assist and help you in anyway he could. I wasn't real close to him but enjoyed an easy going friendship. His family was real nice and his Mother was just as sweet and kind as anybody could be. Lost track of Dennis after High School. Rest in Peace Dennis, you made the world a better place to live in for many people. 

Thank you for this.  Though we weren't close, I knew and liked Dennis, and he was very kind to me (and everyone else.)   He was listed as an Unknown Classmate here, and I wonder if anyone has any details about his life. 
 

From Michael's friends on Facebook: He had a slow heart beat to the consternation and worry of his doctors. He was jock until the end. Michael died unexpectedl'y in his sleep.

I should remember him. Born the day before me. And my father OBM was involved in Heights Temple where I amde some friends. The picture looked familiar, the name sounded familiar, but I guess living in NJ and Israel where I know live I have lost contact with everyone. That is the saddest part of being less young is losing contact. would love to see everyone at the reunion but keeeping kosher and Shabbat I don't know how that is possible. Still everyone should share good memories about one another. Wishing every one a good new year Kesiva VChasima Tova
