Seymour Gurwitz, age 89, passed away quietly on Saturday, October 20, 2018. Seymour was born in Brooklyn, NY on August 21, 1929 and was preceded in death by his mother and father; Aaron "Harry" and Yetta Lieberman Gurwitz, also by the love of his life for 48 years, his wife and Lindy partner; Florence Gurwitz. Seymour is survived by his son: Lenny (Susan) Gurwitz of Monroe Township, NJ, his daughters; Abby (Lionel) Goddard of Camp Hill PA and Susan (Steven) Bastedo of Brooklyn, NY, by his sister; Irma (Carl) Solomon of Cedar Grove, NJ and his Sister-in -law; Shirley Abramson. "Grandpa," as he was known by his 5 grandchildren and "Booboo" by his 2 great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews will miss him terribly as well. Born at the end of the "Roaring 20s," the pace for Seymours life was set. Following High School, he proudly served in the United States Army, where his mechanical skills were put to good use, in the maintenance and repair of tanks. Yes, there were few things, even tanks, that Seymour could not fix or reengineer to work better. In addition to spending cherished time with his family, Seymour had a true love of salt water fishing and dancing with his wife; and, he was known to do either at any and every opportunity. The passing of Seymour will definitely leave a void in the lives of not only his family, but of anyone who had the honor and privilege of knowing him. A traditional graveside service will be held for Seymour at Beth Moses Cemetery, 1500 Wellwood Avenue, West Babylon, NY 11704 on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 at 1:30PM. All are respectfully invited and welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Temple Ohev Sholom at 2345 N Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17110 Attn: Rabbi's Discretionary Fund.
