I was truly shocked and deeply saddened to hear about Bob’s passing. 💔 As a PSW at Aspira Kensington, I had the privilege of caring for Bob and seeing him throughout my time there. There were times when I worked on the same floor where he lived, and when he was still able to walk, I remember how easy he was to work with. He was such a kind, gentle, and approachable person. I will especially remember the little moments in the dining room. Whenever I was helping other residents get ready and seated for their meals, Bob would always greet me. Those simple greetings may have seemed like small moments, but they meant something, and they are memories I will carry with me. One thing I learned from Bob was to be brave. I also remember how much he cared for his wife and how deeply concerned and saddened he was because she was sick. Knowing that they have both now passed away makes this loss especially heartbreaking. Before I left Aspira Kensington to continue my work in Ottawa, I heard that Bob had been sent to the hospital. I never imagined that the next time I would hear about him would be under such sad circumstances. As a PSW, we meet so many residents throughout our careers, but there are certain people who leave a special impression on us. Bob was one of those people. I am grateful that, in my own small way, I had the opportunity to care for him, speak with him, and be part of his days at Aspira. My deepest condolences to Bob’s family, friends, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and caring for him. May you find comfort in the memories of his kindness, his strength, and the love he shared with those around him. And to Bob, may you rest peacefully. 🕊️🤍 May you and your beloved wife now be together again. You will be remembered with kindness, warmth, and respect. With heartfelt condolences, Rose Gollaba — A PSW, Aspira Kensington

I knew my cousin Bob since we were children in London . I was at his bar mitzvah and he was at mine . I was at a family gathering in Rochester when he met Judy . Bob was a very kind and gentle man . I was saddened when cousin Candy told me of Bob’s passing but he’ll continue to live in the memories of his children and grandchildren . I have a photo from my bar mitzvah that Bob is in and so is Aunt Sadie . I’ll have a copy made and send it to the 679 Briar Hill Ave . MAY Bob rest in peace .

I first met Bob when I was at Camp Northland-B'nai Brith full-time & became the buyer. Camp was Kosher & I had no idea what to get. Someone suggested that The Place to go was Kaufman-Barenholtz, an importer of Kosher foods in Toronto. Called them, made an appointment in April, walked into the place, and met with a Bob Jack, the fellow who actually ran there place for Barney Barenholtz. Bob took me under his wing, showed me the ropes, and every year after that my first supplier that I met with year after year was with Bob. I really got excited in early April when I made that call to him to start another summer off, and after the order was placed, I would pick it up with a rental truck, and Bob was there to greet me, direct his boys to load the truck so all the skids would fit in, and after it was loaded, he would offer me a scotch, his fav!! I had to refuse, but it gave him a reason to celebrate. I also remember every Visitor's Day at Camp NBB, where both Nathan & Susie where campers and the staff, where Bob & Judy had the most popular "blanket" with Deli & all the trimmings that they always brought to feed "an army" of friends who always seemed to at least drop by to share a story and a sandwich with all of his family. I will always remember Bob's smile, his warmth, and his sense of humour. I will never forget how much he helped me throughout the summers to feed so many people at Camp NBB for so many years!! Rest in Peace my Friend, and may your family and friends who have lost both Judy & Bob so close together, know no more sorrow for many, many more years to come. Stephen Polevoy

Dear Debbie, Nathan and Susie, My sincerest condolences to you and your families. I have such fond memories of your dad and mom's visits to Ottawa to see Bess, Casey and our family. He always had this huge greeting of "Aunt Bess!" when he visited and the biggest hugs. His zest for life was infectious. May his memory be a blessing.

Susie, Debbie, Nathan & family Baruch Dayan HaEmes It was very painful to hear the sad news of your dear father Reuven Tzvi passing. He was my very close friend for more than 40 years & we spoke every day. We had a very deep connection & I will cherish those memories. In Kabbalah it is written that people who were born & died on the same date are tzaddikim, example we have Moishe Rabbenu & King David. May the Almighty comfort you among the mourners of Zion & Jerusalem המקןם ינחם אתכם בתוך אבילי ציון וירושלים

The abhorrent acts committed by the globally recognized terrorist organization Hamas on the citizens of Israel are reprehensible. The blatant disregard for humanity and the destruction they have inflicted on our homeland and its people is heartbreaking. These atrocities have absolutely devastated our communities and many others around the world.

While Hamas may be working to create division amongst inhabitants of our homeland and throughout the globe, it is now more important than ever to stay unified as one. We would like to offer a place on our webpage for individuals in our community to share their messages of condolence to those who have been lost, their thoughts and prayers to all those who have been impacted, and their prayers of safety to those who are fighting for the security of Israel and its children

Please consider performing a Mitzvah in memory of those who have fallen.
