Anthony Lowenstein Obituary
Anthony was a unique and spirited person with a zest for life who always left a lasting impression with his quick wit, big heart and warm smile. Anthony was a great adventurer, and those that know him take comfort in the fact that while he died prematurely, he fit an incredible amount of life into 45 years.
Anthony graduated from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada and Osgoode Law School at York University in Toronto, Canada. After admission to the bar in Canada, he moved to San Francisco and became a practicing attorney in the San Francisco Bay area until his untimely death. He was a zealous advocate who worked hard for his clients and achieved many significant trial verdicts.
Anthony was passionate about flying. He started flying small planes as a hobby 15 years ago and at the time of his death had become a Certificated Flight Instructor. Turning his passion into a profession, Anthony was selected to attend training to receive his Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP), the PhD of Aviators. With this distinction, he was poised to start flying in the service of United Airlines Express on Monday, December 5. He was thrilled to be starting this second career.
Anthony also loved CrossFit and was a dedicated member of the community.
May his memory be a blessing. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund, https://jewishfed.org/.
Services will be held at noon on December 5, 2016 at Congregation Kol Shofar at 215 Blackfield Drive, Tiburon, CA.

What a loss. Words cannot convey how sad I am to lose this kind, generous friend and for the loss that his family must endure. Anthony spoke every year in my Negotiation classes, and my students hung on his every word. He had a great talent for teaching law in a way that brought it to life for lawyers-to-be. Anthony's wit, spirit, thoughtfulness and joy for life made him a pleasure to be around and will be what I remember most about him.

My deepest condolences for your loss. Anthony was my professional colleague. I have known him for many years and had the highest regard for his legal skill and sunny disposition. We often exchanged referrals and my attorney partner daughter who is approximately his age just conferred with him on a matter last month. We will miss him dearly.

I was one of Anthony's camp counsellors when he was a young kid at Camp Winnebagoe in Huntsville, Ontario.
Although it has been years and years since that fun period of time in my life and his, my memories of him are quite vivid. He was funny, witty, articulate and loved by all who knew him. Clearly, these are qualities that stayed with him throughout his life.
I am very sorry for your loss. May all the joy that he gave to each of you who loved him deeply, stay with you forever.

I shall always remember Anthony's beautiful smile, kind and warm spirit, and deep conversations we had.
I will miss him asking me questions about Israel, Israeli TV series and what kind of summer camps would be suitable for the girls.
I will miss his FL visits and the fun times we have had in the U.S. and in Israel.
My heart is with you during this difficult time.
