What a tragedy for this family! And what an exceptional man. BTW, the bar mitzvah that I attended just before everything locked down was for the husband of one of the lovely women in my weekly meditation group. And it wasn't a regular bar mitzvah, it was the 70th anniversary of his bar mitzvah! Lois, the eldest lady in my group, invited everyone in the group - and we got to meet the family, including their son, Jon.

My heart goes out to this family - he may have been 88, but it was a valuable life cut short...
