Caryn Simon
Aron was my second cousin and we became fast friends and playmates when I moved to his street in the early 50s, on Hubert Road in Oakland. We would ride our bikes around Lake Merritt and later as teens we would double date and I attended many parties in his rec room. He dated a few of my close girlfriends. We went to Oakland High School together. We reconnected after many years in 2000 when I worked for HOPE Services and his family Foundation made a generous donation in support of my role and mission for the organization. I will always remember his twinkling eyes and easy hearty laugh. See you on the other side sweet cousin.
