BD”E . we thank CSE for the good work !!!
Can we get a name?
Yellow cabs are the worst drivers. Old story
About 10 years ago, my brother, was killed by a bus on Houston and Christie (on the lower East Side). The Chessed Shel Emet went way beyond what you would expect. They arranged with the City medical examiner to release the body for burial as soon as it came in. They did a lot of behind the scene work that made it easier for me to cope. Yasher Koach to them for all they do.
My condolences to the family.
Again oy vey! Just walking in NYC is not safe!
It’s amazing how CSE is always there no matter the time of day. Thank you!
#4 & #8 have given two totally different names  211; the guy who wasn 217;t killed must be freaking out. Don 217;t publish names (the yentas will find out soon enough, news travels fast) until the identity has been verified. It 217;s irresponsible & very distressing.
i dont think those asking names mean it in a bad way. no need to reprimand them. its a curiousity thing.
whoever nebech passed away the main thing to say is BDE.
very sad
It ‘s me, # 2…. What a mean remark! I was curious just like anyone else about the name. Gee!!!! Having a bad hair day???
received the following email……….
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I have very unfortunate news. After tonight’s CB 3 General Meeting, Harry Wieder was struck and killed by a Taxi as he attempted to cross Essex St. in front of PS 20. He was surrounded by CB 3 members at the scene of the accident and some of us went to the hospital. He was taken to Bellevue, where the doctors attempted to resuscitate him.
His mother arrived at the hospital via Hatzolah Ambulance Services from Queens. She is understandably distraught. There will be a funeral tomorrow afternoon or evening. I will send information as soon as I get it. I am sure there will be a memorial service at some point in the near future too.
I will miss Harry terribly. He contributed so much to the Board and you could always count on him being at nearly every meeting. He loved serving the community and most of all fighting for it.
Please feel free to forward this email.
Sincerely,
Dominic
