Eli - I am very saddened by this terrible news. Please forward this message to his wife and children.

During my three years in the forging business, I had the privilege of meeting Dov and working with him several times. It was during these occasions when it became very obvious that Dov was a fine professional as well as a true gentleman. He was always so willing to help me and offer his professional advice. And as time progressed I soon learned that he acted this way for everyone. He was so well respected. I will always remember him and keep him kindly in my prayers. My most sincere condolences.
