HARRY AARON BORODKIN It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Harry Aaron Borodkin, on Saturday, June 24, 2000, at the Sharon Home. Besides his loving wife Rose of 58 years, he will be lovingly remembered by his children, Sharon (Barry) Posner and Allan (Elaine) Borodkin and his four grandchildren, Adam, Daniel, Adena and Kera. Harry was born on June 7, 1913, in Pavelitch, Ukraine and immigrated to Winnipeg at age 7. He completed his elementary and secondary schooling in Winnipeg and two years of pre-medical school in Toronto. During the Depression he returned to Winnipeg to pursue a career as a watchmaker and jeweller, where he worked for his father and later went into business for himself at Portage Credit Jewellers. He was predeceased by his parents Louis and Clara Borodkin and his in-laws, Falik and Freda Zolf. He is survived by his four sisters, Vera Omnitsky of Winnipeg, Mary Peltz of Winnipeg, Edith Komisar of Toronto and Sara Gelfand of Ottawa. Harry will always be remembered as being a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a dignified, gracious gentleman who was respected and liked by all. We would like to thank the outstanding staff of the Sharon Home, particularly the second and fourth floor staff for their wonderful and compassionate care during our fathers courageous battle with cancer and Alzheimers. We would also like to give heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pearlman, Dr. Lezack and Dr. Ahmed for their wonderful care. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Harry Borodkins name to Cancer Care Manitoba or to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba.
