Shane Ganug Story

Here's link to dad's classic "shane ganug" story. The story was transcribed by our Merrill.

The phrase is yiddish for "enough". It may be spelled other ways, e.g. "shayne ganung".

Lou Garbus 15 October 1917 ~ 11 October 2010

Dear Friends and Family of Lou Garbus (a.k.a Louie)

With a heavy heart I report that dad died suddenly this afternoon in Belfast, Maine in Harbor House where he was recuperating after his recent hospital stay.

It was reported by someone who was near him that there was no cry of pain... he was conscious one moment, then fell backwards on his bed... perhaps a massive heart attack or stroke? So, it appears that he had a peaceful death.

There will be a memorial and life celebration for dad and mom (who passed away last month) in Searsmont, Maine on the 21st of November... Details to follow.

Please add your thoughts, prayers, wishes, photos, drawings, etc. to this blog.

Love to all,

Bill Garbus
