Hebrew Memorial
Oak Park, MI 48237
Shiva/Wake/pot luck was at Marvin 'Surowitz's
I liked Charlie - what
was there not to like? He was a sweet man.
Exiting after the
ceremony, Sylvia Inwood said, "That must have been one of the
most upbeat Jewish funerals I've ever been to."
To start with, the rabbi told the congregation that because they
inferred sadness - eulogies were not permitted during Passover. He
then said addressed Charlie's 'Unconventional' lifestyle and made
some reference - I presume unintended - which could be construed as
Charlie's love of the herb. This sent those who knew Charlie well
into fits of laughter.
Here are a few hasty

(Bobbi) says,
"The event was definitely a CHARLIE PARTY in every sense of the
word. Personally, it lifted the deep deep sorrow that I have been
carrying all these long months of Charlie's suffering."
