Miklos is a great man. I was lucky to meet Miklos and Vera, exceptional individuals both, years ago and their spirit of unconditional love for people, joy for life, tolerance, amazing sense of humour is always with me. Exceptional people teach just by being, without words. Meeting Miklos and Vera was so important to me that I named one of my daughters Alessia Vera, if it had been a boy it would have been Miklos. Thank you Miklos, we'll miss you. My sincere condolences to Vera, David and all of the Mandel family.

Dear David, Gerald, Paul and Mark and family, My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. I have a most special place in my heart for inspirational individuals, like your father and my parents, and their generation of immigrants who endured unfathomable hardships during the war, and yet - through hard work, determination, faith - managed to not only survive, but to provide a better life for their families, and serve as role models for the next generation. May he rest in peace. Rosalie Winkler Karalekas

David: Please accept my deepest condolences for you loss. Having lost both my parents in the last decade I know the kind of emptiness one feels when they are gone. The only way to fill it is to preserve your memories of their life, and it seems that you have many of those. As the traditional saying goes " may you know no more sorrow"

David Nussbaum - 4 days ago

Dear David, I was saddened to hear of the recent loss of your remarkable father. My own father passed away about 2 years ago at the age of 87, growing up in Nazi Germany until leaving at age 16 only a week before the War to study in a Yeshiva in England. The rest of his family was not so fortunate with only 1 of 2 sisters and neither of his parents surviving. This is not an unusual story for our people, underscoring the importance of our carrying on their memories, values and working to insure that "Never Again" means "Never Again" despite the recurring distortions and lies emanating from now fashionable sources that even a decade ago would have been considered obscene. I value, respect and applaud your work in this regard. Thank you for sharing. David

My sincere condolences to all the Mandel family I know from David's stories about his father that he was a remarkable man who survived the horror of the Holocaust to marry a fellow survivor and raise a family in a new country, Canada. He retained his zest for life right to the end. He did wonderfully well with his life, and you should all be proud of him. May he rest in peace.

Dawn Gardham - 4 days ago

Dear David, my sincere condolences for your loss. Having lost my mother 9 months ago, I know how deeply such a loss cuts into your heart and soul. Find comfort in a life well-lived, strength from your family and friends and, above all, cherish your memories.

Peter Suedfeld - 4 days ago

Dear David, PJ and I send our condolences and sympathy. Your father was one of the resilient, tough survivors of the Holocaust whose postwar life showed the ability to rebound and enjoy a loving family and a rich, full existence; a state to which we can all aspire. Your family was fortunate to have him with you for such a long time and to have all those memories to cherish. Peter

Larry Lengbeyer - 4 days ago

David, your dad sounds very much like mine, who died a year earlier: funny, warm, strong-willed, maybe not the most accommodating to others. I greatly enjoyed knowing my dad (despite the hard time he often gave me), and I hope you enjoyed knowing yours. Now you and all your family can savor your many memories of him, and share those memories with Jacob and the other little ones who didn't have as much time to get to know him as I'm sure you wish they had. I hope you are as much at peace with his death as he evidently was.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have been his neighbour for the last 14 years and he was such a nice , kind and generous person. He was so dedicated to your mother. When I last saw him in late October, before I left for Florida, everything was fine, or so he said. I will miss him. I hope your good memories will sustain you at this time.

Lucy Bridgeman - 5 days ago

Dear The Stone family, I so sorry for the loss of Mr. Stone. He was such a friendly person, I got the opportunity to know him during his very caring presence for his wife at Donald Berman Maimonides. He was always so busy, but would always take the time to greet the people he knew. I told him one day that I thought he was on roller blades. He was so proud to tell me his age and the secret to living long. He will be missed here. May the memories of his life be of comfort to the family.

My deepest condolences to my cousins Mark, Gerald, Paul and David. I always looked forward to seeing 'Uncle Nick'. Your Dad was number one all the way. Your Dad had the greatest sense of humour and was always very thoughtful, and was always there for everyone in the family. Your Dad was totally dedicated to his family and always put himself out for everyone. Uncle Nick was always so energetic and always on the 'go', and always so enthusiastic about everything. I always thoroughly enjoyed being in his company and he always made me feel very special. It was your Dad, my Auntie Vera and your Uncle Paul who made that special and life changing trip to Canada together after the atrocities they endured. I truly can't say how deeply saddened I am by your Dad's passing. I hope that Auntie Vera is resting comfortably. I am truly looking forward to seeing you all in the very near future and sharing with you all the special memories of your Dad. Your cousin Martin, Debi, Brandon, Holden, Colin, and Lauren

His wisdom , love and respect is something that will stay with you forever. On a personal note I looked forward to his office visits to hear his pearls and see the love he showed for his beloved wife and family. He will have a lasting impact on all of us. May your family be spared further sorrow.
