He made his home on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where he was extremely active in its political and cultural life, providing leadership to numerous boards and community organizations. He also served as a warden and vestry member at St. Mark's Church in the Bowery.

Our class has lost a rare individual who loved what life had given him and who tried to make the world a better place for others. Our sincerest sympathies go out to his widow, Tima Lah, and to his family.
