“My family and I have been devastated by this loss,“he wrote on Facebook.
“I met Cindy fifty years ago at SUNY Buffalo.
We have been together ever since, living bicoastal lives, between Manhattan and Berkeley.”
Fishman concluded, “Hug those you hold closely, tell them that you love them…a lot.
Life is such a fragile affair, and what we have today, we may not, tomorrow.
Sending love to you all, but especially to Cindy, who graced the world with her presence.
Her life was cut short, but it burned brightly as her memory surely will.”
She is survived by her husband, her son Ben Charles, and her stepson Sam Fishman.
