The world, and a family who is very special to me lost a unique soul 4 years ago. Mr. Stolzberg or "Big Rich" was a #mentor a #teacher and a #friend to me. I thought of him as a second dad and I was lucky enough to have him as a father figure in my life. He never quite converted me to the conservative/ Republican side of the house but we had endless discussions about life, politics and religion during the 6 years I worked in his #bagel shop. He taught me, along with my own father, the meaning and the value of hard work and integrity. Big Rich was the model of a man who despite incredible odds, always took care of his family. The same family that made me feel like I was part of it @lilystolz @unclegeggy @lilystolzbergn12 I feel empty today and my heart is broken. I love you and I will miss you. I only hope he knows how much I cared about him I only hope that the Stolzberg family heals in time. #lilsmitty #friend #mentor #fatherfigure #BigRich @lilynews12 @madandscarsdaddy @manesowiczstolzberg https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDGFKErXOc/?utm_medium=tumblr
