Nancy,
Nice to speak with you.
I, too, miss Avi A"H. I fondly recall him as one of the warmest, friendliest, kindest people in shul -- and, although he and I were only acquaintances, he would enthusiastically wish me Shabbat Shalom as if we were close friends!
As I mentioned, I also was part of the Chevra Kadisha team that performed the Tahara on Avi.
May you, your family, and all Klal Yisrael be comforted by the many, many positive memories of all the good and great things that Avi did.
I look forward to seeing you in shul.
Shabbat Shalom.
Best regards,
Richard
