Debbie and family; we are deeply sorry to hear about your Dad. He was a loving husband , father and grandfather. His aEyes always twinkled when he smiled.
Sending my deepest condolences Debbie , to you and all of your family. I know you’re dad will be missed by many. What a lovely man he was .. I will always remember him enjoying the sunshine on the beach..
Mr Linsky was a long term patient prior to my retirement a few years back. We always had an enjoyable time meeting. He was more than just a patient and more than just a casual acquaintance. We enjoyed discussing many things but we both especially loved the RI Philharmonic. His enthusiasm was infectious. It is relationships like ours that make the practice of medicine a marvelous career. My deep condolences to Mrs Linsky and to their daughter Deb both of whom are equally wonderful people.
The man was easy to get along with and a good friend. The state of the country today must have broke his heart.
I will miss my chats with Lenny. I am sorry I couldn’t make it to the funeral in person but grateful for zoom. He will be missed by all who loved him.
Dear Debra, Barbara and family. I so enjoyed my daily conversations with Lenny at The Highlands. My deepest sympathy to you all. May his memory be a blessing. Barbara Dunder
