Baruch Dayan Emes. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Rybowsky and Jenna families. May there be an Aliyas Neshama and may Hashem comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Yerushalayim.

Dutcha was a warm and gentle man who always treated his friend, my Bubbi Yadja Wajgensberg, with kindness and respect. I will miss his bright smile and exuberance. What a loss for your family. My thoughts are with you.

My condolences to Jenny and the entire Rybowski family. I was privileged to know David over the last 7 years, having met him for the first time when I brought students to Baycrest's Cafe Europa in 2008. On that occasion he shared his story with us informally, and he later participated in our interview/oral history program on a number of occasions. He also visited us at school, and I would say that he was one of our greatest supporters. I am very pleased that he chose to share his story with us (it is online at http://www.crestwood.on.ca/ohp/david-and-xenia-rybowski/). I know that David would be pleased that he will continue to share his stories with future generations, and that his lessons on tolerance and friendship will still be taught; he was a kind and thoughtful man, with a great smile, and I feel honoured to have met him and to have known him.

Ducha was a warm, kind and special man. He was a good friend to my late grandparents Yadja and Zenek Wajgensberg. I always enjoyed spending time with Ducha and seeing his nice smile. He will be very missed by many. Please accept my sincere condolences. Thinking about Jenya and the entire family.

Our deepest sympathies for a truly gentle-man who embodied the zaida for all of us and made my brief association with the Lodzer congregation an honour and a pleasure!

Mr Rybowski was a wonderful neighbour. I will always remember his delightful greetings whenever he would see me on his weekend visits to see his grandchildren. He will be truly missed. On behalf of the Covi family, our thoughts and prayers are with the Rybowski and Jenna families.
