We just heard today of this terrible loss. I have not seen Baruch since moving to Los Angeles last year. We had always shared special feelings for each other. This news was a major shock for both Sarah and myself. May you and your children, grandchildren, daughter and son in laws have not more pain in your lives. He has left behind a incredible name and was a special friend who I will carry in my heart forever.

Boruch was a kind and gentle person that never had a bad thing to say and always saw the good in everything. It is so sad that he was taken from us so young – but he leaves a beautiful family and warmth in the hearts of all who knew.

Temos certeza que Hashem estará junto a vocês nessa hora difícil e triste e os confortará.
