Isaac Irving Senor

SENOR, Isaac Irving, it is with a saddened heart that Isaac, our father, grandfather and friend, died on April 1, 2011. He was laid to rest on April 3, 2011 in Evergreen Cemetery. Isaac tread lightly on this Earth. He was a gentle man who lived a full and rich life. Isaac was born in Salonika Greece. At the age of 16, the Nazis sent his entire family to Concentration camps. This is where Isaac spent the next several years until liberation. Over the course of the war, Isaac was in five different concentration camps. During this time, he was forced in to heavy labor. Isaac survived the camps but the rest of his family did not. He was liberated from Dauchau, Germany May 5, 1945. Isaac met his future wife on the day of liberation. They were married for over 54 years. They came to the United States and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1949 where they raised three daughters. Isaac was a Design Supervisor with the Leather Specialty Company. After raising a family and retiring after many years of employment, he and his wife moved to Tucson, Arizona to be near two of his three daughters. Isaac was busy in his retirement spending a lot of time with his grandchildren, speaking to schools about his experiences in the Holocaust, and pursuing a degree at Pima Community College. Isaac completed the coursework to receive an Associates of Science Degree. His post secondary degree was a great source of pride and accomplishment as a college education was such a priority for his own children. There was no better father than Isaac. He was a warm, devoted and fun-loving parent. He worked hard every day and provided his family with a comfortable and secure life. His children grew up knowing that they were loved. Throughout his life, Isaac would tell family and friends, "I don't hate anyone…that makes your heart bitter. Always remember there is hope no matter what you are going through". These have been wise words to live by from a man who experienced the unimaginable and went on to live an honorable and valuable life. He is survived by daughters, Lynne Farbman, Molly Senor and Doris Senor Woltman; grandchildren, Eric Farbman, Zachary Cohen, Sheila Cohen, Brendan Woltman and Lauren Woltman. Donations in his honor can be made to PACC Partners, 6820 E. Scarlett St., Tucson, Arizona 85710 or the Arizona Chapter of the Tourettes Syndrome Association, P.O. Box 41406 Tucson, Arizona 85717.
