Irwin LAZAR Obituary
LAZAR, Irwin "Bill"
Irwin "Bill" Lazar passed away peacefully on April 21, 2012 at the age of 79. Born on March 9, 1933 in New York City, Mr. Lazar was an accomplished expert in the foodservice industry who enjoyed a long career with Cahners Publications (now part of Reed Elsevier). Bill was a long-time resident of Stamford and a member of Temple Sinai, before spending his most recent years with family in the Chicago area. He enjoyed playing tennis and felt at home at the beach. He was known for his quiet determination, his life-long zeal for learning, and his enduring love for his family. He was predeceased by his wife Marcia Lazar in 2007, and will be deeply missed by his surviving children Sherre, Scott, Bruce and Sally and his four grandchildren.
The Lazar family welcomes all friends and relatives to a brief service and gathering to be held at the Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home at 2900 Summer Street on April 26 at 10 a.m. A graveside service will follow at Fairfield Memorial Park Cemetery.

Just a quick note from an old business colleague -- actually one of Bill's customers back in his R and I days. He was always a pleasure to do business with, professional through and through. All the best in your loss. Chuck Klemballa

Dear Sherre, Scott, Bruce and Sally, I fondly recall your father's great sense of humor and his caring. Even in more recent years he was always interested in helping us as we thought about careers. We had such great times with your family and look back upon those days with joy. May you find consolation in the coming days. Anna Ecker (Annie Gold)

Sherre, Scott, Bruce, Sally,
I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Some of my happiest childhood memories include being with you guys and your parents at the beach in Rehoboth :) I'm really glad that I got to see your dad and spend some time with him at a party a couple of years ago. I will always have a special place in my heart for all of you.
Love,
Elaine "Lainie" Markowitz (Gold)
