Milton SHAFFER

I met Mr Schaffer back in 1973 when he hired me to work at his mens wear store, Fraser Delahay. I loved both him and his beautiful wife Sarah. Often visited him when he was in the senior residence. I still of you sir!,,,

I met Mr. Schaffer soon after I purchased his condo on Richmond Road in Ottawa. I picked him up one day and brought him back to see his old home. He wanted to introduce me to his old friends and neighbours. Off we went door to door and he kindly introduced me to my new neighbours. I knew from that gesture that Mr. Schaffer was a fine individual. My sincere sympathies go out to his family.

What a beautiful beautiful obituary written by this eloquent man! I am most fortunate to be a good friend of Wendy and Michael. He will be missed by them and I know that they loved him and feel grateful for the many years that were given to them and his family by his long long life.

My wife Anne and I got to know Mr Shaffer trough Dan
In all the years we had dealings with him my wife used to say "that is a Good man " and she was an excellent judge of character
His sense of humor and kindness is what I remember him by
My deepest condolences to all his family
May G-D bless and allway smile on you

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

We feel blessed to have known and loved Milton for the past number of years. May we continue to be blessed with memories of his wit and wisdom for years to come. We became friends, by chance, as we lived in the same condominium building and offered to drive seniors to their appointments as a retirement past-time. Milton was the first to take us up on the offer. Milton captivated us with his stories of growing up in Ottawa and with his business and other ventures and adventures of which he had many over the span of 99 years. It is hard to imagine living through so many different times war years, depression years, boom years - not to mention the changing fashion styles, which as a Rideau Street men's and ladies wear store owner of some renown he needed to be ahead of the crowd and the competition. It is harder still to imagine being a fashion store owner with a wife and three daughters. We have no doubt that Sarah, who by his words was a beautiful woman of exquisite taste, and his girls, who probably hit their early style-conscious years in those heady 50's and 60's, imparted their views on what should appear in the storefront and more importantly what they should be wearing. With the grace and good looks of their mother, Ingrid, Marilyn and Wendy were undoubtedly the envy of their school mates when they were the first to don the latest fashions. What perfect advertising.
Milton also regaled us with stories of his world travels with Sarah and how he felt so fortunate to have been able to make so many trips together while they enjoyed good health.
They say that when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. We will cherish our memories of Milton. May gentle breezes carry the soul of our ancient mariner.

We recall with love and admiration the elegance which MIlton carried with him wherever he appeared and spent his time. I remember him at shul sitting with his brother. Sharon and I send our heartfelt condolences to our dear cousin Wendy and Michael and their wonderful children Robyn and Dan and the family.
Love,

Milton was a good friend ever since I've met him. Always a good sense of humour. His often repeated joke was that he checked in the morning paper to see if he had passed away, well Milton you can read it now.
I'm very sorry to see you go.
