I would be so grateful if my condolences could be passed on to Joy and Jack Davidoff’s family.
It was such a privilege to have met and performed for Jack and Joy during Jack’s final months in Louis Brier. I had known these beautiful people in London and had not seen them in 20 years. How lucky to have encountered them again- and just in time in Jack’s case.
I shall hope to see Joy upon my next visit to Vancouver later in the year.
Thank you very much and much love to Joy and the entire Davidoff family.
