I rented the Struk’s 3d floor apartment at 250 Edgewood Avenue for several years in the late 1970’s. I still tell people that it was the best apartment I ever had and that Mr. Struk was the best landlord ever. My best wishes and condolences to all of the Struk family. May your memories be as good as mine are.
