SYD GLOW Syd Glow, 85, passed away peacefully at the Simkin Centre on Wednesday, June 3, 2015. He is survived by Freda, his loving wife of 60 years, sons Brian (Liora) and Sheldon (Leslie), grandsons David, Devon, and Josh, and granddaughter Sari, sister Molly Rosenblat, sister-in-law Molly Barnett, of Israel, brother-in-law, Max Roytenberg (Cookie) in Vancouver, nephews Rob Rosenblat (Sue) and Ed Rosenblat (Bev) of Toronto, David Roytenberg (Dora) and Daniel Roytenberg of Ottawa, nieces Carmel De Kalo (Elik), Shelly Lalloum (Shai), Deborah Charash (Meir) all of Israel and Judy (Wilf) Yaeger of San Francisco, cousins Bert Glow and Edith Pomerance of Calgary, and Paulette Brody of Denver, Colorado. He also leaves to mourn a large group of friends and business associates. Syd touched the lives of many through Edison Electric and later Capital Electric and other enterprises here and around the globe. Syd was the founder of Dickie Dee Ice Cream and many will remember his five fruit and nut stores in various parts of Winnipeg and Sunshine Deli in Charleswood. His amazing work ethic was passed down to his sons, who still marvel at his energy and enthusiasm for new challenges. Syd always looked back with pride on his term as President of the B'Nay Abraham Synagogue. Syd was predeceased by his parents Esther and Goodman Glow, and brother-in-law Ernie Rosenblat. Interment was in the B'Nay Abraham Cemetery. Shiva services were held at the home of Dr. Sheldon Glow, 123 Handsart. Pallbearers were Ed Rosenblat, Rob Rosenblat, Max Roytenberg, Josh Glow, David Glow and William Rosenblat. Honorary Pallbearers were Len Wolechuk, Ike Greenfeld, Gus Kokoschke, Art Hirsh, Leslie Litman and Leonard Bakalinsky. The family wishes to thank the staff of Weinberg One, at the Simkin Centre for their tender, loving care during Syd's nine month stay. We know they will miss his jokes and shenanigans. Much thanks to you Mylanie Roxas, who remained a loving caregiver until the end. Donations can be made to the Gwen Secter Community Centre, or a charity of your choice. We will remember you forever Syd.
