After high school graduation, I enrolled at McGill University and four years later received my B.A. in Economics and Political Science.  The best thing that happened to me in those four years was a two month trip through Europe with a group of other university students.  Then it was on to the private family fashion business, today known as The Utex Fashion Group.

I married my wife Arleen in 1965 and we have been blessed with two wonderful sons who bestowed upon us three terrific grandsons who make life worth living!!

Now one of my two sons is preparing to grab the reins and send me off to the golf course where I would love to be!! 

My other son is in his own business also here in Montreal.

Still working and looking forward to spending more time in Florida with the family.

Dear David,

My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow.  It seemed like yesterday when you were looking for a new horse for Arleen.  I am thankful that I had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful wife at our reunion.  Although it's difficult today to see beyond the grief, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

                                                   Love

Dear David:

Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wife. I didn't know Arleen, but I remember you well from a happier time so many years ago. My wonderful husband Hank fell sick several days after our Reunion and died 3 months later. It's now over 2 years he's gone, but you discover that with strength and love of family and friends, you make it through. Stay well.

Dear David,

I extend my sympathy to you on your loss.of your lovely wife Aileen. I wish you many happy memories of your time together and joy with your family and precious grandsons.

I followed a similar path as you following our graduation and got my degree in economics and political science while teaching full time. We, the graduates of Outremont High, were so motivated, fortunate and great achievers.

It is special that you have your family close to you and that they

are there for you during this time of sorrow.

I now live in Miami and so does one of my two sons.

I wish you many wonderful simchas, good health and lots of nachas.

Dear David,

Arnold and I regret not having been able to attend the funeral of your dear wife.

Although I am the one who alerted Gerry of your loss, it has taken me until now to try and find the words to express our sorrow.

Just know that you`re in our thoughts and hopefully , all the expressions of sorrow will help you cope with this time in your life

and give you strength

All our love

Dear David,

My sympathies to you on the loss of your wife . It is difficult to watch someone you love during an illness and I hope you will heal over time. You are lucky to have children and grandchildren to ease your pain.
