Dear Patty, My heart broke today with your most kind call to let me know of Marcel''s passing. Peggi and I have spent the last hours talking about Marcel and how much he meant to us. I inherited his friendship from my Dad and will miss the hole he filled when he was around. I always knew he was by when I would find article clippings on my desk. He always left us with a joke putting a smile on our faces. Pickles will miss the treats he always remembered to bring her. Anyone who knew him was better for it. Our deepest condolences to you and your family at this trying time.

I am so sorry to hear of Marcel''s passing. We worked together as young men starting out in the film business at International Film Distributors. Marcel was a delightful change to the rough and tumble of the business, brought a lovely manner and sense of humanity that made me like him instantly. Many years since then but I remember him fondly.....and Patty. Condolences to the family.

Patty and family: Saddened as I am to read of Marcel''s passing, I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to chat by telephone with him in early April on the day Patty advised me of his illness. During our conversation, Marcel shared memories with me, seemed upbeat while recognizing that his illness was terminal. I will miss our lunches during which Marcel displayed his wonderful abilities as a raconteur of stories. Marcel was an open, sincere person without guile. He will be missed by all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing to your family.

Patty and all the family: sincere condolences to you on your loss. We knew Marcel from the film business of course, & he was an uncommonly gentle & kind man in what could often be a rough tough business. When I think of Marcel, it is that gentleness, his warm gracious smile & welcoming manner that come to mind. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Patty, Nicole, Stephanie and Families I am so sad to hear about Marcel’s passing. Although I unfortunately have not been in touch with him for many years, I spent much time in the Himel house on Ardmore. I was just Marcel’s little cousin but he never was too busy or too “cool” to spend some time with Linda and I during each of my visits. He had great stories to share and also was interested in what was happening in my life. May your wonderful memories of Marcel be a comfort to all of you and your families. Lillian and Joel Cornfield

Dear Patty, Stephanie Nicole and extended family. I was shocked and deeply saddened by the loss of your precious Marcel. His life was made even more precious by his Holocaust endurances as a child. We were all brought together by our daughters'' lasting friendship. Even though I had not seem Marcel in some time, my memory is strong of his gentle presence and warm smile always. I hope it comforts to know he will be remembered fondly by myself and many others who came to know him. Sincerest and deepest condolences Karen Lasky

Nicole, Stephanie and family you are all blessed to have had such a loving father and grandfather in your lives who was a great model as to how a spouse should be and an unselfish friend to those of multiple generations among whom I include my parents and my children. Your mom and dad were well suited for each other and gave tremendous support to each other. Marcel had an exceptional memory and took joy in sharing only positive stories of friends and family. I honour the examples and integrity of Marcel and Patty who both made sacrifices to be genuine to their values and resist efforts to influence them otherwise. Marcel has always been loved and respected by so many and you are all blessed to have a part of him in you forever. Be at Peace.
