My Uncle Benny.
Born in NYC Lower East Side in 1920, Abraham " Benny" Engelberg passed away in his sleep. a veteran of World War II and an engineer by trade.
Benny had no children but, left me in charge of disbursing a set amount of money so that i could give others some joy. i also donated to a scholarship fund.
he leaves behind 2 siblings and several nephews and nieces.
he was a good person. I will miss him.
the future gifts will be done via pm's. no more announcement forum.
he had pulmonary problems. at the end he was attached to breathing tubes and, in the hospital. i'd go visit him every other week cause the drive is long.
It was before thanksgiving that he passed but, it has always been a tradition in my family that way before you pass on you are given what's yours so, i thought this was the best way.
he gave me the money back in Feb. 2006 when he was still okay.
he told me i needed a new car and to do whatever i wanted with the rest. so, i got a 2006 subaru outback and have been giving the rest away.
that's all. i believe in pay forward. a good deed done should be passed on.
Is everyone happy now…
