That was really a great poem, it was very personal and emotional. He was very involved with the family.

He always seemed to be an expert in anything and everything I needed to know. He was very knowledgeable culturally, just so aware, he knew about all the arts and introduced me to the arts.

He wrote some to me on different occasions. He wrote one when I turned 16. That one is really very dear to my heart. And he wrote another one when I got married and when I had my daughter.

He really taught us about social justice and that was something that was very important to him. He thought it was something about being Jewish, to stand up for something right and to make sure the underdog's rights were stood up for.

He is expert in classical music. He knew the composers and knew their lives. He read their biographies. He knew the subtly of their music. And he knew about modern music and all the modern composers.

He refused to sign the petition. He didn't want any part of it.
