Pepe was such a special, sweet man! I always loved to see his big smile and hear him sing at John and Cheryl's Shabbas table. His devoted children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will only continue to make him proud and carry on his beautiful legacy. Tu es raison. Pepe!

My condolences to Simon's family. Simon was a kind and gentle soul who had a great sense of humour. I recall in the lobby hallway of the building Simon lived in making so much noise talking, joking and laughing with Simon. He was a good friend to all those who knew him and will be sorely missed.
