7.11.2003 Nir I will not call you Nirtzi because you are already a man. I stand here in shock and disbelief. You yourself would not have believed how many people have come to pay their respects. All Haifa is here - thousands of people. It is very hard to part from parents but it is the most horrible of things to part from your own grandchild but God gives and God takes away,’ blessed be God’s name’…I promise you Nir to stay young – for you – forever and to do all those things that you have not been able to do. And you my young friends I plead with you all with heavy heart- please be careful and understand what are you doing to your families. Keep on having fun but please be extra careful when you are on the road. Go in peace Nir with the knowledge that you have done all you can for the community From your grandpa Haim Melech.
