<div style=""><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;"><font size="3" style="">Regret to inform you that our good friend, Marek Boym passed last Tuesday, March 31</font><font size="3" style="">,</font><font size="3" style=""> a</font><font size="3" style=""> </font><font size="3" style="">few days after his 80th birthday. He had battled pancreatic cancer for several months. </font></span></div>
<div style=""><font size="3" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;"><br>
</font></div>
<div style=""><font size="3" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;">Marek was truly a one of kind. His encyclopedic knowledge of our music was beyond belief. As I tell it "Marek could not only name the main instrumentalist but also name all the side-men in an obscure recording!". </font></div>
<div style=""><font size="3" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;"><br>
</font></div>
<div style=""><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;"><font size="3" style="">He was the founder of our Thursday night Jazz listening group </font><font size="3" style="">here in Israel. </font><font size="3" style="">They ha</font><font size="3" style="">ve</font><font size="3" style=""> been meeting weekly for more than 50 years. It was my good fortune to discover them about ten years ago. With Marek's guidance I increased my appreciation of our music many times </font><font size="3" style="">over. He also became a good drinking buddy, his knowledge of good scotch was also excellent!.</font></span></div>
<div style=""><font size="3" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;"><br>
</font></div>
<div style=""><font size="3" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS", sans-serif;">We will miss him.</font></div>
