JACK NEWMAN With profound sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Jack Newman on January 22, 2014 at the age of 91 years surrounded by his family. He is survived by, and will be dearly missed by his wife of 63 years, Phyllis, son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Natalie, daughter Reesa and grandchildren, Lee, Michael, Jeffrey and Sydney. Jack was born in 1922 in Szereshow, Poland. He was a survivor of the Holocaust and Auschwitz concentration camp. He immigrated to Canada, landing in Halifax in January 1948. Jack worked hard to build a new life for himself in Canada. For a short time he lived in Toronto and Barrie, Ontario and worked in the bakery business and a variety of other occupations. In 1958 after his return to Winnipeg he bought Tasty Bread which he owned and operated until selling it in 1980. In addition to his businesses, Jack was an enthusiastic gardener and handyman. He loved seeing the fruits of his labour, the many different vegetables he grew. His friends and family reaped the benefits of his gardening with a constant supply of fresh seasonal vegetables. He loved socializing with his family and friends and was always up for a drink and a piece of herring with a boiled potato. Jack loved to spend time at his cottage in Winnipeg Beach and winters in Florida. He loved to have his children, grandchildren and friends visit. Funeral services were held on January 24, 2014 at Etz Chayim Synagogue. Pallbearers were Elliot Goszer, Steven Tritt and Sheldon Zipursky, and his grandchildren Michael Newman, Lee Starr and Jeffrey Starr. Jack will be remembered as a man who was kind, generous, fair, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Donations in his memory can be made to Jack and Phyllis Holocaust Education Fund, c/o The Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights or the charity of your choice.

Mr. Newman always greeted you with smile and kind words even though he was in physical pain. He was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren and always shared their latest visits or phone calls. Jack and Phyllis treated us as extended family and when they moved we knew we'd miss them dearly. Thank you for being in our lives and we love you.
