MOONI ROSENZWEIG October 10, 1918 - March 1, 2001 With deep sadness we announce the passing of Mooni Rosenzweig, peacefully on March 1, 2001. "Mr. Mooni" was a man of great pride, strength and faith throughout his remarkable life, from his childhood in Poland, through his heroic survival of the Holocaust, to his wonderful family, business and community life here in Winnipeg. He leaves to mourn and remember, devoted wife Renee; beloved daughters, Libbi Walter and Ruthy Gonen (John Thompson) and cherished grandchildren, Mika Gonen and Yaron Walter, whose characters, accomplishments and love saw him through his years of illness. Funeral services were held March 4 at the Bnai Abraham Synagogue, officiated with great warmth by Rabbi Alan Green, and attended by so many friends who will never forget how Mooni touched their lives. Pallbearers were Yaron Walter, John Thompson, Morris Henoch, Jules Dashefsky, Adam Rodin and Lev Zentner. Honorary pallbearers were Meyer Henoch, Jack Offman, Danny Gonen and Sheldon Forgan. The family would like to thank Dr. Jack Rusen and Dr. Marvin Slutchuk for their years of very caring medical attention; Drs. Teraska and Thorlakson, the I.C.U. nursing staff and Rev. Ron Long at Victoria Hospital for tremendous compassion during Moonis final days; and Rabbi Alan Green, Rabbi Neal Rose and Rabbi Yitzchok Charytan for their inspiring spiritual guidance. Guided by his great love for people, Mooni left his mark in the finest way possible - a respected man with a good name. Those who wish to further honour his memory can make a donation in his name to the Jewish Heritage Center for Holocaust Education (477-7460) or the worthy charity of their choice.
