He was such a nice man

Dr. Ribakow passed away last week.

Freeda and Larry and Barry flew to Israel and buried him here tonight. So sad!

In tears, Freeda said to me, "He loved you like a daughter." And I responded, "He yelled at me like a daughter too!"

He always gave me a hug. He called me "Sarah le".

I spent many many days and nights in the Ribakow home as a teenager.

I feel a little guilty for not staying in touch with them more as an adult!

I remember one summer when I was living at the Ribakows and "going out" with a guy, Dr. Ribakow got very upset when the guy came to the house to pick me up and honked from his car. Dr. Ribakow went outside and told the boy if he wanted to go out with me, he had to come to the door to get me.

He was really such a nice man! I know he will be missed.
