CHAIM KATZ It is with profound sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Chaim Katz on October 30, 1999. Born in Selesht (Ludvipol) Poland in 1914 to Shmuel and Malka Surah Katz, he was the eldest of five children. After marrying Manya Stern, they emigrated to Canada and settled in Winnipeg in 1948. For more than 30 years Chaim owned several grocery stores and then moved on to the hotel business. He loved his family unconditionally and was an excellent provider. He was respected and loved by all who knew him. He enjoyed a unique relationship with each of his grandchildren and his great-granddaughter. Chaim was predeceased by his parents, sister Leah and brother Shmuel. He is mourned by his wife of 53 years Manya, his daughter and son-in-law Lynda and Al Chwaiewsky, his son and daughter-in-law Sam and Joanne Katz, grandchildren; Alex, Leah, Carol (Alfredo), Dawn and Geoffrey, great-granddaughter Gabriela, brothers and sisters-in-law Leon and Fay Raber, Bernard and Freda Raber and Max and Chana Stern, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. Services were held on October 31, at the Bnay Abraham Synagogue with Rabbi P. Weizman officiating. Pallbearers were Al and Alex Chwaiewsky, Lionel, Steven and Lorne Raber and David Stern. Our heartfelt thanks to Drs S. Koven and D. Meyrowitz and the staffs at Seven Oaks Hospital and Sharon Nursing Home. A donation may be made to the Chaim and Manya Katz Fund at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba in his honour. We were truly blessed to have our wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather in our lives. He will forever live in our hearts.
