So sad to hear this news. My condolences to the Aziza family. Baruch A"H, was always very kind and warm to me and my family. He will be missed for his many positive attributes and his love of Judaism and being a "mentsch." May his neshama have an aliyah.

We are so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose a parent. You are never really ready. You should be comforted knowing that you have been such fantastic children. You devoted much time and energy ensuring your father /father-in-law was always well taken care of whether in Montreal or Toronto. You listened intently to what he wanted and to his ideas of how things should be done. You did your best with them. May you be blessed with Hashem's consolation and all the good memories you have. Love and hugs, Cindy and Sid

To the grandchildren, We know your loss is great as well. We know you learned much from Granddad to help you navigate life. Know that should you ever get stuck, you can ask yourselves what he would have done and rely on the answer you get. May you find comfort from passing on the things you learned to his great-grandchildren and by keeping his memory alive in the stories you them about him. Love and hugs, Cindy and Sid

May his memory be a blessing. Monsieur Aziza was my excellent French teacher at Northmount High School in Montreal in '60-'61. I credit him with such fluency as I attained. We reconnected some years ago and I visited him at his son's home here in the Toronto area where I've lived since' 77. He recalled Northmount's then mostly Jewish students as the best he ever taught.

After the loss of 3 of our 4 parents in early adulthood, we and Irene were adopted by Baruch and Aviva. Our bond with them and our gratitude to them endures. Having shared simchas and sorrows with the entire Aziza family throughout our lives, we now share this loss, comforted by Baruch’s long and exemplary life, and so many fond memories. Thank you for sharing Baruch with us!

I still remember M.Aziza when he started teaching at Northmount High Sxhool. He was a soft spoken individual but an excellent instructor. He will missed but not forgotten. My condolences to to the family

To the grieving family , You don’t know me but I met both of your parents in baycrest while my father in law was a resident there several years until his passing two years ago . I especially remembered the love they shared and I remember on Sunday music afternoons your mother loved to sing and your father would always be smiling . I’m also half Moroccan my father is from Casablanca and we shared stories and exchanged many laughs together on my many visits. I later found out that his wife passed away and we also lost our father/ in law . So seeing this announcement brought back all these lovely memories I wanted to share with your family . He spoke so highly and with so much pride of all of you :) Barouch Dayan haemet. I’m sure they are finally together again .

My sincerest condolences to the Aziza family. Mr. Aziza was my French teacher at West Hill High School in 1968-69. I have forgotten the names of many of my high school teachers, but not Mr. Aziza. He was not only a superb teacher but also a lovely man.
