ELLIOT FEUER Elliot Feuer died peacefully January 2, 2016 at age 92. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Born in a Jewish farming community near Hoffer, SK, he was the son of Oscar and Gittel, the oldest of six brothers and was very close to his Uncle Max and Auntie Peppy. He and our late beloved mother Faye, his wife of 61 years, farmed near Ratcliffe, SK, until 1961 when they moved to Winnipeg and operated grocery stores. Elliot later worked for Sears until his retirement. He and Faye enjoyed many happy times at the Gwen Secter Creative Living Centre where Elliot, known as "the Yiddisher Cowboy", often entertained. He spent his last years at the Simkin Centre. Our father was at core a Saskatchewan farmer and that was the source of his strength and resilience. He was known for his love of music, a precious gift he gave to his children. His greatest joy was playing his guitar and singing. Our home was never empty as our parents loved socializing with friends and extended family. They enjoyed travel in Canada, the U.S. and Israel. Elliot will be sadly missed by his children Ed (Linda), Shelley (Steve) and Sherman, as well as grandchildren Avital (Mike), Shira (Michael), Daniel (Jenna), Sarah, Jasmine (Guy), Chanina (Yaniv), Avishai, seven great-grandchildren and surviving brothers Charles (Georgia) and Morris (Beryl). Funeral services were held at Chesed Shel Emes led by Rabbi Larry Lander. Pallbearers were Brian Feuer, Jeremy Feuer, Steve Kasman, Daniel Kasman, Murray Intrater and Ken Bass. Special thanks to the staff on the Weinberg 1 unit of the Simkin Centre for their care and kindness. Donations can be made to the The Association for the Soldiers of Israel - Canada, 1-800-433-6226.
