“Jim, Jon, Joel and family, my deepest sympathy on the loss of Dick💔. I wish I could be there with you on Wednesday but I will be in spirit. Your family is very important and loved by many including me. I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasn’t for the Kapelson family and know how much I enjoyed working with you.
