SAMUEL LICHTMAN

SAMUEL LICHTMAN It is with deep sorrow that the family announces the sudden passing of our father, grandfather and brother on October 22, 2004, in his 89th year. Samuel was a holocaust survivor whose courage and ingenuity saved the lives of many loved ones. With typical humility, he said that he was no better than anyone else, just lucky. He loved life and cherished his family and friends. His sense of humour was legendary and he would beam with delight when yet anther person fell victim to one of his pranks. A carpenter by trade, he eventually became a grocer and owned and operated Nassau Grocery for many years. He loved people and he was always ready to help someone in need. Samuel was a member of the Rosh Pina Synagogue, now Congregation Etz Chayim, for over 50 years and often filled in as their cantor. His wonderful voice and passionate style made his chanting memorable. Samuel was predeceased by his beloved wife Sarah in 1978 and is survived by his children, Jack (Judy), Ed (Shelley) and Tobi Osman; grandchildren, Ronna (John), Jason (Laurel) and Mindy Lichtman, Craig and Sarah Osman; sister and brother-in-law Ellen and Dave Peltz; brother-in-law Aaron Yukelis, and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held on October 24. Pallbearers were, Mark and Josh Yukelis, Jason and Mindy Lichtman, Craig Osman and Harold Kaplan. We were truly blessed to have such a wonderful father, grandfather and brother in our lives. He will forever be remembered in our hearts. Donations in his memory may be made to the Congregation Etz Chayim or a charity of your choice.

RUDY LOWENSTEIN

RUDY LOWENSTEIN It is with great sadness, that we announce the passing of Rudy Lowenstein on October 18, 2004 at Seven Oaks Hospital. He is survived by his wife Paula of 56 years, his three sons Howie (Francie) of Calgary, Arnie (Valerie) of Boston, and Jeff (Cathy) of Vancouver and seven grandchildren Jeremy, Marc, Daniel, Whitney, Rachel, Michael, and Alana Lowenstein as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother Ken in 1994. Rudy Lowenstein was born icon in 1921 in Dusseldorf, Germany son to Hugo and Johanna Lowenstein and brother to Ken (Margaret). After being arrested on Kristallnacht and a period in Dachau, he escaped Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport. When the war broke out in September 1939, he along with other refugees was placed in internment camps, first in England and then in Canada. Soon after his release from the camps, and following a period working on farms in Manitoba, he volunteered for the Canadian Army. He served at Camp Shilo, near Brandon. Rudy was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was devoted to his wife and his family. He took great pride in keeping in touch with the limited family that survived the war. He was active in the Jewish community and spent his later years teaching young people about the Holocaust. Playing the violin, listening to classical music, and attending the symphony were some of his greatest passions. Rudy and his late partner Joe Frank built the Crown Cap into a well-respected manufacturer in Winnipeg. They ran the company with an unusually high moral standard with honesty, integrity and trust as the fabric. These qualities were characteristic of the manner in which Rudy lived his life. He will be profoundly missed by his wife, children, grandchildren, relatives and friends. He is remembered for his love of learning and his good deeds. His constant smile, positive outlook, his love for Judaism, and his willingness to give of himself will be a source of pride and inspiration to us all forever. The funeral was held at the Congregation Etz Chaim with interment at the Hebrew Sick on October 20. Pallbearers were his grandsons, Jeremy, Marc, Daniel and Michael Lowenstein, his nephews David Lowe and Alan Pritzker. Honorary pallbearers were Harold Richman, Max Labovitch, Sam Unrode, Joe Leinburd, Lanny Jacob and Howard Bogach. Many thanks to the physicians and nurses at the Seven Oaks Hospital for their care.

I am the thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in the circling flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.
