GEORGE ZUCKERMAN The Zuckerman Families The Employees of Doubletex and Matador Converters were deeply saddened by the passing of George Zuckerman on Friday, January 25, 2008 Joining his father in 1948, the late Charles Zuckerman, George began what would become a storied and illustrious career. Working together with his brother Murry, George was instrumental in growing what was then a small textile quilting company operating in Toronto, into one of Canada's largest privately held textile companies, with operations across Canada and spanning into Europe. Passionate, dedicated, honest, shrewd, astute, energetic, and visionary were just a few words used to describe his extraordinary being. George was a born leader, respected and admired not only throughout the textile industry, but also by his many friends throughout the world. George will be sadly missed by us all, but he will remain in our hearts and in our memories forever. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his wife Sharon, his sons Richard and Charles, his daughters Leslie and Alison, his brother Murry, and all of his loving grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Out of deep respect and in George's memory, all the factories and offices of Doubletex and Matador Converters will be closed on Monday January 28, 2008.
