Dearest Phyllis, Douglas, Shelley and Michael,
So very sorry to hear of beloved Sruel’s passing. He meant so much to so many leaving an indelible mark to many generations, and will live in our memories and hearts.
Loving thoughts are with you,
Rena
I wish to express my deepest sympathy. I cried when I heard. I wanted to come in to see everyone this summer but am haveing my own issues and am not allowed to travel.
May you be comforted among the mourners of Jerusalem and Zion
I’m very sorry to hear of Sruel’s passing, he was a great guy, and a valued customer, I thought you and Sruel were such awesome people and always a pleasure to work for. God bless both of you.
I pretty much grew up at Hall’s lunch counter and continued to shop and get meds there as an adult. Sruel was a truly lovely man and always so kind.
