Dear Mrs. Edelstein & Joan, 
I was very saddened to hear about Judge Harry's passing. Although it's been way too many years, I always remembered him to be a stand up guy and a man I respected greatly. I have sent a contribution in his memory to the JDRF on behalf of all the Loren family. My mother and father, who are on their way home to Maryland, after visiting friends in NY over the weekend will be saddened to hear about Judge Harry's loss. We all send you our deepest regrets and best wishes for your good health.

Fondly, 
Ken Loren
Potomac, MD

My deepest condolences to all. I have so many fond memories of visiting. Hearing all the family stories. He always made me laugh and gave great hugs. Lots of Love to all xxx

My deepest condolences to all. I will always have loving memories of Friday dinners as Diane said Harry always made for a religious experience. I also remember Harry always having life savers in his pocket for us and carvel ice cream sandwiches. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. 
Much Love,
Karen

Friday night dinners at your house were amazing between the chicken and the 'famous' rice and mushrooms the air was buzzing with discussion, stories, argument, and lot of love and laughter. Fridays have never been quite the same and as Harry always said 'it's a religious experience'
lots of love to all

Dear Sue and family,
I wanted to add a candle to my original entry, but it looks like I have to create another message which is not a problem. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.

To The Family, Judge Edelstein was a stand up  judge for the  little people in the Village of Spring Valley. Never unfair and compassionate to the diverse community he served. They don't make this caliber of person anymore. May he RIP.   Conatance Williams, Charlotte, N.C.

Joan, I was sorry to read of your Dad's passing.  Your fond memories will keep him with you always.  I send you a hug.

You were the best , Harry !!...with a deep sense of empathy. No doubt, that the world is much better as the result of your deeds. You were a uniquely caring Minister of Justice.

I had the pleasure of shadowing him as a high school student. He was a tireless advocate for the underdog. Watching him in the courtroom was an amazing experience. He was Rockland's own Clarence Darrow!  My condolences to you.

I have known Harry since early 1980s.  In fact I met him just a few weeks ago.  I never needed him as an attorney, but I have known him as a true Humanitarian, always willing to help people, no matter what their need may be.  He truly brought credit to Humanity. May he rest in peace.- ram nagubandi

Dear Mrs. Edelstein:  Rose and I were saddened to hear of Harry's passing.  I remember him fondly and our years on the judiciary together.  He was a very fine Judge, a special human being, and we regret your great loss.  

We will remember him in our prayers.   We extend our sincere sympathy to you and your  family.  Judge and Mrs. William B. Braatz

The Judge will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He taught us all by example, "what it means to be human". Thank you Harry, for sharing a great life with us.

Harry was part of a group of men In Rockland who met weekly in different homes to play cards. For some unexplained reason, my dog, Miuttley, would always single him out on the driveway and would not stop barking at him. Memories always remain. So sorry for your loss. Judy Brautman (Naples,Fl.)

Sue,
May the fond memories of your father give you some comfort at this very difficult time.Condolences to you and the rest of the Edelstein family.
