You gave Dade County and its residents your entire character, commitment and convictions to undying excellence simply because you cared. Your heart and soul were golden and serene. Your honor, dignity and reverence for integrity above reproach. As you rest in peace my neighbor, friend and hero, let it be known that your loving family carries on with your heroic legacy stamped in their hearts of endearment. I was a Rabbi of a synagogue when I found out the terrible news.
