My mother, Helen Greenspan, had a long and joyful life and always spoke of your mom affectionately. My mom passed two weeks before your mom at age 96.

He re-married and lived a one per center life well into his late eighties. His son Bert took over Young Adjustment Company which is now led by Larry’s grandson, Franklin.

Thanks for posting these thoughts of your mom, Helen. Larry Horowitz was my second cousin, Ted & Ada Wasserman my aunt and uncle, and of my mom & dad were Helen & Sid Greenspan. It interesting that each of the players of the old Philadelphia gang seems to have had their own take on the circumstances of their immigration from post-war Philadelphia to Los Angeles. I miss them all and send warm regards. BG
