Julian aka Buzzy Wolpert was a friend from childhood in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn. Our paths crossed repeatedly later in life, first in the US Navy, then in the Honesdale, PA area where he and Ether
(Eileen) had a summer home, and after Esther’s death, in NYC.
Buzzy (I always thought of him by that nickname) had a sharp incisive mind and a matching wit. He was once described as utilizing 100 percent of his capabilities, something few of us achieve.
A dear friend, he will be missed.
