MONSKY, Aaron, "Babe", age 96, formerly of San Mateo, California passed away on Tuesday, November 27, 2018. He was born and was raised in New Jersey, and was a graduate of Roselle High School.

After the war, he became successful in the hardware business in San Francisco with his brother. He was devoted to his Jewish heritage and loyal to his family. He was known by his friends as humorous and the go-to guy for fun. He was a world-traveler, seeing places that most people would only dream of. He just returned from a Hawaiian cruise two weeks ago. He had a long life spanning the Roaring 20's, The Great Depression, The Second World War, and he saw all the technological and economic advancements made by the country he loved and fought for, The United States of America. He was preceded in death by his two older brothers, Herbert and Seymore, and his nieces, Rhea and Herba. He is survived by his grand nieces and grand nephews: David, Dena, Robert, and Brenda. Furthermore survived by Great Great nieces and nephews: Howard, Jacob, Ryan, Hannah, Hudson, and Myles. "Always think positive, no negative thoughts."

I miss my friend of 25+ years! Aaron and I used to sit out by the pool together for hours and tell jokes....Of course he had the worst jokes, but loved them all. Blaine Moss

Uncle Babe was my hero as a child and a complete legend. Lived his life to the fullest and truly loved living. He always told me age was but a number and that even in his 80's, he felt 27. Loved the guy and he will be enduring inspiration in this life until I join him in the next. I am truly proud to be related to this man.

I called Aaron, as I do very few weeks, and when he didn't return my call as he always would immediately, I knew something wasn't right. Aaron, you and I weere friends for over 25 years, dating back to Northpark Apts. We would spend countless days out by the pool sharing stories. I will talking with you and visiting you....but we will always have our wonderful friendship.

"Uncle" Babe as we affectionately called him, was the ultimate gentleman. Susie and I had the distinct privilege and pleasure of knowing for, at least the past 15 or more years. We included him in various events held at our house and, always got to see him at events at his immediate family's houses, for various Jewish Holidays, Thanksgiving, and many happy occasions. He was a wealth of knowledge, a world traveler, and down to earth all around great person. We were privileged that he treated us as family, and was always ready and willing to participate in engaging conversations. He will truly be missed, but never forgotten. Rest in peace, Uncle Babe.
