A Letter from the Lebow Family

It is with great sadness that we must inform you that Benjie passed away on February 12th. He suffered a massive heart attack while unloading unicycles for the weekly Unicycle Riding program he and Benita had developed and sponsored at Beech Street Elementary School here in Manchester. Benjie lived his life with great passion and generosity and he died doing something that he loved that had touched so many young lives in an extraordinary way.

As most of you already know, Benjie approached Lebow Metals with a great sense of integrity and appreciation for the personal connections he developed. Although Benjie is probably the only Lebow most of you have met, Lebow Metals has always been a family business. At some point, each of us have played a role and for more than 25 years, we have enjoyed hearing news and stories about members of the New England dental community. We suspect that you may have heard a few stories and seen a few pictures of us along the way as well.

Aside from being a tremendous personal loss for us all, Benjie's death will of course effect how Lebow Metals is run. We have begun making preparations so that we can continue serving you with the exceptional standard of reliability and personal service that Benjie always provided. We are currently able to receive and process your precious metal scrap when sent to us in one of our free, self-addressed mailers. Elise and Mark are currently helping Benita with metal processing and bookkeeping and we expect to send out payments within 30 days. We will also continue selling our line of Goldsmith & Revere Ultra Alloy. Early this summer, Jeff and Huisun will return from Korea and we will resume local pickup of your precious metal scrap and amalgam.

In closing, we'd like to thank each of you, not only for your years of loyal patronage, but for bringing so much enjoyment to Benjie's life. As he wrote in one of 'Lebow's Sayings', "If you want to have a great life, have great days". Thank you for helping Benjie to have so many great days.

Sincerely Yours,

Benita

Elise, Mark, & Zak
