Abe GREENSPOON Obituary
1921 - 2012
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father Al, peacefully on Thursday, September 20, 2012 at St. Paul's Hospital, Vancouver B.C. after a brief illness. Beloved husband of the late Kay Greenspoon. He is survived by his sister Betty Rudolph and his brother and sister-in-law Seymour and Rona Greenspoon. Dearest father and father- in-law to Sheree and Miles, Sam, Joy, Peter and Marion. Grandfather to Kree, Tania and Mischa Blatnicky, Jordyne, Ben, and Jonah Greenspoon and Anna and Lea Kaltenschnee- Greenspoon. Great-grandfather to Danika and Gregory Pilotte and Tyaa Fuoco. He is also fondly remembered by his nieces and nephews. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at St. Paul's Hospital for giving him the best care in the world and we are so grateful for everyone's kind words and thoughts about our father. They have been a huge comfort during this time of sadness and grief. Al has been laid to rest beside our mother at the Temple Sholom Cemetery, 28 Ave. White Rock, B.C. Contributions in his memory may be made to the CNIB 1-800-563-2642.
