Will be greatly missed by Mary
ROY
MELTZER
and Elizabeth
BOSCO who provided loving home support over the decades.
Predeceased by his father Samuel
MELTZER (who immigrated to Saint John from
Vilna, Lithuania) and mother Alice
{DRITZ}
MELTZER
(Vilna,
Lithuania)
who died in Saint John when Gar was only two, much-loved stepmother,
Sarah BALAGENSKI
(Warsaw,
Poland,) and siblings Lillian (Sydney
SCHOEN), Kaye (Barney
COLTON), Edward, Anne (Jack
LEVINE), Frances
(Mischa GELTMAN) and Bill (Doreen.) He dearly loved his in-laws
Simon RUBANOWICZ and Raymonde
{GORDON}
RUBANOWICZ who had also
predeceased him. Gar was the kindest, most generous, fair, honourable,
humble, optimistic, and evercourteous man who had an indomitable
spirit to the very end, and had an irrepressible Gar Heart, that
continued to beat long after the doctors thought it would. Gar
always took the high road, always turned the other cheek, always
had a good word with a smile for everyone. He was committed to
promoting human rights, brotherhood, mutual respect, peace and
community service throughout his life. He was active in the scouting
movement, Akela for over 25 years with the Judaen and then the
Eli Boyaner Cub Pack in Saint John. He considered each of his
cubs as one of his boys. He delivered Meals on Wheels, offered
pastoral care at the Saint John Regional Hospital, served on
the Board of the Shaarei Zedek Synagogue, was a founding member
and Commander of the Jewish War Veterans in Atlantic Canada,
was a member of the Maritime Parkinsons Association, the North
West Commercial Travellers' Association of Canada, Albion Masonic
Lodge No. 1, the Saint John Multi-Cultural Association, B'nai
Brith, RUSI, and past member of the Carlton Curling Club.
Gar was a life member of the No. 2 Legion in Saint John having
served in the Canadian army and then the airforce as an Officer
Training Instructor during World War 2. After the war he was
actively involved as an instructor with the air cadets. Gar believed
in working hard, in doing one's best and realizing the fruit
of one's labours for family and community. He was a ship chandler,
the owner of Gar's Diner, the Gar Meltzer Sales, and a commercial
salesman for over 40 years representing some 50 companies throughout
Atlantic Canada. Six months on the road every year for decades,
he developed a network of customers who became Friends who never
forgot him for his acts of kindness and tzadkah. His good deeds
were innumerable and we usually only heard by chance from those
who were touched by his generosity and altruism. In 1992 he was
awarded the Canada 125 Confederation Anniversary Medal for community
service. And yet Gar never sought honours or recognition. Gar
loved his family and he loved his home. He treasured his Friendship
with life-long pal I. J. Davis. Thanks to caregivers Judy and
Jackie who were so helpful and compassionate providing athome
assistance in Saint John; special hugs to Donna who took such
good care of him while visiting in Toronto. Much appreciation
to the wonderful medical and nursing staff at Toronto East General
Hospital where he spent his last days. Donations may be made
to the Maritimes Parkinsons Association or to the Gar
MELTZER
Memorial Scholarship fund c/o the Toronto Dominion Bank, 78 Main
Street West, Saint John, New Brunswick, E2M 3N3. Funeral was
held at Brenan's Select Community Funeral Home, Paradise Row,
Saint John, New Brunswick (506) 634-7424 on Wednesday April 30,
2008. Interment was in the Shaarei Zedek Cemetery, Westmorland
