Dear Family , I’m sorry for your loss , please accept my deepest condolences. Yefim was great person - very kind always welcoming smile, smart , talented and very social . I remember when we used to get together we always enjoyed and admire his fruits salad ! He was Very curious too . As being immigrant myself , we did share stories of our countries. It was easy to carry conversation and enjoyed our talk . He was independent , it was hard for him on his last years of life , which took a lot out of him …. He will be missed however his memories never fade.. May God rest his soul in peace .

I have such fond memories of the whole Slobodkin family starting in high school. Yefim and Galena were such wonderful parents to Rimma and always so loving and interested in me and my family.
I loved coming over and getting to know them. Yefim in particular seemed amused by me. He was always a gentleman with sweet laugh.
When I had my first child Marissa , I remember all of looking at her and then Rimma made a comment. About her toes being like mine and ruined the mood!
It’s been an honor knowing someone e so special . Cathy
