I was very sorry to read about the passing of cousin Louis. I am the grandson of his first cousin Sidney (Isaac Schusheim’s son). I visited Milt and Kitty Schussheim a few times when I was a boy and also know Milt’s son David who is friendly with my mother Karen Schusheim Siskind. I have been working for many years on researching the Schussheim family tree and would be happy to email you what I have learned (which dates back to the 1830s). My email address is gsiskind@visalaw.com. I wish I had the opportunity to have met Louis.

Regards,
Greg Siskind

Ben & I extend our condolences to you and your family
