AKK commenting to mentalblog.com: Moshe Kanovsky leaps to death from the Empire State Bldg.

Hi all: I was the last person as a friend of Moshe Kanovsky. We talked and had lunch together. He was a nice, intelligent, soft-spoken Jewish guy. He was very politically sensitive. On the tragic day we had our lunch together. He smoked 2 cigarettes and came to my office.

He talked to one client and started talking to the other in our conference room. I stepped out of the conference room to get some papers from my secretary-within few moments the client inside started banging the door saying he jumped. I could not find any of his family members to talk to. If anyone can refer this message to his family I’d be grateful. (AKK's email could found in this comment)

I'm having trouble tracking down his relatives, and am wondering if it might be possible to speak with some of you who knew him. I can be reached at: 212-210-2147. Thanks very much, and I'm so sorry for your loss.
