GROBSTEIN,
Harry
Peacefully at home, as was his fervent wish, in West Palm Beach,
on Wednesday, December 5, 2007, in his 98th year. Beloved and
loving husband of Ruth Elkman
GROBSTEIN since 1986. He guaranteed
her 15 years, but in typical fashion exceeded his commitment
by giving her almost 22. Predeceased by his cherished first wife,
Mildred Wagner
GROBSTEIN, who passed away on December 7th, 1984.
Deeply loved and respected by his children, Barbara, Debra and
John, who will sorely miss him. Harry was a wonderful father-in-law
to Michael
LEFCOE and Barry
CAMPBELL, and step-father to Richard
and Cindy ELKMAN, and Ron
ELKMAN, all of whom loved him like
a father. Beloved grandfather of Yaacov and Batsheva
LEFCOE,
Kris LEFCOE and Rob
JERESKI;
Matthew and Jeremy
CAMPBELL; Marissa
and Justin
SCHMIDT, David, Molly and Laura
ELKMAN; Mark
ELKMAN.
Great-grandfather of 10 great-grandchildren in Israel and Florida.
Sadly, Harry will not be with us to welcome his 11th and 12th
great-grandchildren, expected soon in Israel and New York. Harry
was also a much loved uncle. He led a full, productive and happy
life, and was admired by all who had the privilege of knowing
him. Predeceased by his brothers David
GROBSTEIN and Nick
PROCTOR,
and by his sisters Rae
FAERMAN and Gerry
BIRNBAUM.
