I will always remember how Val often kept comic strips in his wallet. He knew how to make me laugh when I needed to laugh. Thank you Val. I won’t forget you. No chance.

Dear Wax Family,

I am Sonia De Leon. I had the privilege of working with Dr. Wax when his office was on Pulaski. I worked as his Dental Assistant. A couple of days each week I also helped him when he worked in Wilmette. He was a terrific Dentist, and I learned so much during those years..

Although deeply saddened by his passing I take joy in remembering my years with working under him.

With our sincerest sympathy to his family,

Sonia De Leon & Family
