We’ll Miss You

Radcliffe Mason

Vice President of NYC Atheists

Recently, we lost a great man. Ewa, Rad’s wife, informed us of Rad’s passing. Rad was recovering from a surgical procedure and experienced a heart complication. Despite hospitalization and pain, Ewa said that Rad was in good spirits and happy. While saddened by your passing, we are glad to hear that you were happy in the end.

We all remember Rad as the moderator of our weekly Zoom Meetings. He strived to keep use all educated and informed on the latest issues. He was a paragon of respect and care. He loved people and cared a great deal. Last fall when Rad stepped away as Vice President and meeting moderator, we lost a great man but expected him to visit. We’ll miss that we don’t get to see you again.

Do not mourn Rad, but celebrate his life. Keep him in your hearts to keep his memory alive.

We will be remembering Rad at the next Wednesday Zoom Meeting of 3/26.

Kenneth Bronstein

President of NYC Atheists

Recently, the world lost a great man who cared about people. Ken was battling cancer and was hospitalized. Information is scarce, and more will come.

Do not mourn Ken but celebrate his life. To those that knew him personally, be grateful that he touched your life.

Keep Ken alive in your hearts and minds by remembering the greatness and kindness he showed. Carry on his legacy to help others and the cause he cared so deeply for. In doing so, he will live forever.

There will be a celebration for Ken in the Spring.
