To the Family of Dr. Martin Fleishman
Last night I was told of the passing of Marty Fleishman.
I am so sorry to hear that very untimely news. Our sincere condolences go out to your entire family.
The years have passed too quickly and physical distances between us all have only made a connection between our families more difficult. Slowly that connection had become more remote. For that I am extremely sorry as well.
It had been too long and now that opportunity to reconnect is not possible.
But I do look back and reflect on the times when we were just children, back in Philadelphia. I see them as only as good times.
Three brothers, Bill, Harry, and Bernie, making their way after World War II. All had small businesses, all worked very hard for their families.
Of course all the wives worked as well. These were exceptional people. And very devoted to their family.
Seven children in all, 6 boys and a girl. All successful in their pursuit of a happy life.
My folks had the candy store ala West Side Story.
Bernie had the restaurant, ala Happy Days.
And Harry had the woolen goods business, ala the God Father.
As I remember Marty, he always had that big smile and was easy going.
A hard worker and a very good person.
From what I have read those traits continued for the rest of his life and he certainly will be missed.
Our regret is that we were not closer to share those happy events that come in all our lives
.
We will be making a contribution in support of Israel in Marty's name.
We wish you the best in this difficult time.
With our condolences.
Lynn and Gene Fleishman
