  • I met Mr. Cymbalist when I was in grade 2! I went to school with his daughters, and used to hang out at their house often. He was a jovial man, always smiling and making jokes! He always made me feel so welcome in their home. He would go out of his way for others and had a big heart. I am sad that he is gone, and I am sad for Mrs. Cymbalist and for his girls, I will always remember him fondly. Sympathy and prayers to the family.
