Carol was a dear friend of mine: we liked the same music, we liked the same people, we came from the same shtetl. I have known Carol since my kinder garden age when I was looking "up" to him. I was honored to sing his "My way" song at his 100th birthday party: indeed, he did it his way! Carol, you will be forever remembered. May your memory be a blessing to all those who knew you, respected you and loved you!

Carol was a very dear friend of my parents and I always enjoyed talking with him. I liked the memories Carol shared with me about my parents in Bacau, where for a while we were neighbours. I will miss him! Mariana, I am glad that Carol was with you and your family until his last moments, as I know how much he loved you all.

Carmit

We are so heartbroken to lose such an incredible man. We were so blessed to have him for so long and it makes it that much harder to say goodbye. His great grandkids adored him and loved seeing him sing his favourite song, “I did it my way”. That song represented everything Bunicu was, he truly did everything his way. He was so devoted to his family, he attended everything from our weddings to our kid’s dance recitals and nursery graduations. Every minute spent with us was precious to him. He was an incredible grandfather,, growing up he was a part of our everyday life from driving Ron to hockey to picking me up from school and it always involved a stop at his favourite, McDonald’s! Bunicu was the kindest, most charming and generous man. He will be greatly missed by all of us. ❤️
