Our deepest sympathy to Karin’s family. We were saddened to hear of her passing. It was always a lot of fun volunteering alongside Karin at the Boylston Schul-Verein events and festivals over the years. Ruhe in Frieden

Dear Tony,
Dave Bugbee emailed me about your mom. I just wanted to say how sorry I am. I have very fond memories of her. She always seemed to be smiling.
It’s been a million years since I’ve seen you but the memories of coming over to your house — the smells from the kitchen of your father cooking something, your mother on the go, laughing at something you said, your neat stack of Sports Illustrated by your bed — are clear as day.
Again, my condolences.
All best,
John
