I tried to call Elyse earlier tonight, obviously unaware that she had passed away. Elyse Kaye and I had been friends since 1961, when we met at Andries Hudde Junior High School in Brooklyn. We stayed in touch all these years, despite living in different cities. Unfortunately, we hadn’t seen each other since our 40th high school reunion in 2006, but we last spoke over the summer. While I knew she had been in poor health since 2003, I never suspected that our last conversation would be our last. My deepest belated condolences to Lara, Riccardo, Lyla, Dean, Leslie and any other relatives/friends I don’t know. Elyse was a highly compassionate person and good friend. I will miss her as will others who were fortunate enough to have known her.
