<div>Keeping the Board Open: A Memorial for a Master of Wit and Chess
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most people knew my father as a sharp Financial Analyst for NYC or the taxi driver who genuinely loved the open road. But if he wasn’t behind a desk or a steering wheel, he was at the chess club.

<div>My dad was the kind of man who started every day with a medium hot coffee (extra cream, two Sweet’n Lows) and a quick joke. If you asked how he was feeling, he’d tell you, “With my hands.” But beneath the wit was a man deeply invested in the success of everyone around him. He was a consistent presence—the kind of person who always asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

</div>
<div>To honor his legacy, I am raising funds to support the chess club he loved so much and to sponsor a Memorial Chess Tournament in his name. Chess gave him a community, a challenge, and a passion. By supporting this fund, you’re helping us provide that same sense of community to other players and ensuring his seat at the table is never truly empty.

<div>Thank you for helping me take care of the game that took such good care of him.
