Norman-thank you for posting this picture of my dear friend Chaim with me sitting next to him. As I posted last week, Chaim was a beautiful violinist with a fantastic personality and sense of humor. He was one of a kind and I’m so grateful to have this picture.
Hi. Thank you for posting this. I am Eli Shtrum, his son. He loved working with you all so much. Thank you and bless you all.
Eli, I just heard that your father passed away and want to send my condolences. He was a wonderful man
Shalom Eli,
