Ira Singer Obituary
Ira's career took him into the Computer Industry where he worked for Digital Equipment Corporation and Oracle. Whether it was music or computers, Ira really enjoyed teaching both adults and children. He eventually taught Hebrew School music and was a Choral Director. As much as he loved teaching, the most important thing to Ira was family, specifically being around his wife and children. Ira would want to be remembered for what he gave to his community and his love for his family.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Linda Singer (nee Lewis); daughters, Tracy Singer (Dan Goldberg) and Amy Singer; mother, Antoinette Singer; brother, Harold (Carrie) Singer; and grandson, Max Ethan Goldberg. He was predeceased by his father, Fred Singer.
A Virtual Funeral will be held on Thursday, September 24th, 2020 at 12:00 pm. Please omit flowers. Contributions in his memory may be made to American Cancer Society, 405 Williams Court, Suite 120, Baltimore, MD 21220 or Alzheimer's Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL 60601.

I have been thinking a lot about what lessons or values Ira had taught me during the many years I had known him.
Let me share three.
From Ira Singer I learned about flexibility, no matter what challenges Ira had faced in life, he was able to create something new and meaningful. When he was excessed, let go, from teaching music in New York, he became a music teacher in Maryland. When he lost his job as a music teacher in Maryland, he became a software consultant for Oracle and served as music director at our Temple, Temple Isaiah.
From Ira Singer I learned resilience. No matter what unpleasant things had transpired in his life, Ira somehow had the ability and fortitude to recreate himself and find a new way to gain personal meaning and help others simultaneously.
Lastly, Ira Singer taught me to smile and enjoy life irrespective of what was happening in his life and in his world. Indeed, in my own mind right now I can hear Ira saying to me and to all those who are mourning for him : "Don't worry about me, I'm in a better place right now, go and fulfill your dreams and "tikkun olum", repair the world."
May the memory of Ira Singer always be a source of blessing to all those he touched.
In love, in friendship and in respect.
