SIDNEY (ZIP) ZIPURSKY July 15, 1932 - June 8, 2011 After a courageous battle with ALS, Sid passed away with his wife Mae and son Grant at his side. Survived by his devoted wife Mae, sons Grant (Marim), Murray (Esther), Bradley (Janell), 11 adored and cherished grandchildren, sister Sylvia, brother Frank (Edith) and many nieces, nephews and special friends. Sid was a true Mensch. He was a trusted and respected businessman in the electrical and sales fields. His main focus throughout his life was his unconditional love for his family and friends. They were his pride and joy. His involvement with youth groups throughout the years gave him great satisfaction. Mr. Zip was always looked up to with respect and many honoured him with their kinds words and support throughout his illness. We thank the family and wonderful friends near and far who were our support and brought us great happiness. Heartfelt gratitude goes to the ALS Society, Homecare, St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit who cared for Sid with the utmost respect and care. Sidney's positive attitude, resolve, determination, acceptance, and absolute consideration for others right to the end will remain an inspiration for us all. Our last year together was a wonderfully precious rekindling of our love for Sid, Dad, Zaidie, Uncle, and friend. The happiest day of his life was the day he married his love, Mae Lenart and she became his wife. He will be missed and loved forever. The funeral was held June 10, 2011. Pallbearers were A. Zipursky, R. Helman, S. Klapman, A. Ackenberg, N. Muryn, S. Zipursky, R. Barsky. Donations to ALS Society or St. Boniface Palliative Care.
