Age 80 years, of Newton, passed away June 1. Beloved husband and best friend of 52 years to Susan (Dambrov) Lookner, and son of the late Samuel and Esther Lookner.

He also leaves his brother-in-law Robert Dambrov (wife Kim), and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends (including former roommates Manny Cohen and Danny Shapiro).
