This is a generic email to a list of relatives, friends and people whose names I found at Martin's house or on his computer. I am Martin's brother, Bob. Martin died suddenly Thursday from arteriosclerotic heart disease. The family has decided to have Martin buried close to other family members in LA. Funeral services will be Thursday at 12:00 PM at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary, 6001 Centinela Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90045, (310) 641-0707 (near the 405 Freeway and Sepulveda Blvd., 10 minutes from LA Airport). Immediately following services, there will be a a gathering in my home, in Martin's memory. My home is approximately an hour from the cemetery. Directions will be provided. Please feel free to contact me for any reason at (714) 281-0403 or by email at robtminow@aol.com. Also, many of Martin's San Francisco area friends have expressed a desire to have a memorial service in the Bay area. This is expected to be planned sometime in the future. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, any Hospice Foundation of your choice (I am involved with the Cancer Support Foundation of Los Alamitos, California), Toys for Tots or any other group of your choice. I look forward to meeting many of you. I'm sending this out email as this is how my brother would have liked it. Thanks to all who have communicated their thoughts via the phone or email. With kind thoughts, Bob Minow 1071 S. Taylor Court Anaheim, CA 9808 --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R. A.
