Irvine Seider

A lovely gentleman who connected with all - regardless of their age - with his smile and sharp wit. He will be missed by ourselves and our children (grandchildren of his good friend Henry Meyer obm). May his neshama have an aliya and have the capacity to intercede for the welfare of his family and community who so cherished him.

I first met Reb Yitzchak in Alpharetta, Georgia. I was there with my family visiting a friend who lived there. Reb Yitzchak was there for his grandson's bar mitzvah. What a holy yid he was. We became instant friends, two Jews from Toronto in the middle of nowhere. He always had something witty to say and always made me smile. But underneath the humour was a kind and loving man. He really loved people. You could feel it radiating from him. My heart is broken at this immense loss to the community. Hamakom yenacheim eschem...

I was Irv's accountant since his arrival in Canada.He was in the true sense of the word a mensch.Through his good and bad times he always kept his faith in the goodness of others and I will miss our yearly chats.May the family take strength from his good deeds and place he held in his Chabad Community.

So very sad that he has left us for the next world. May Hashem give his neshoma an Aliya.

Sandy and family, I first met Mr. Seider some years ago, when I was helping Sandy pack up and unpack her father's belongings, when he moved to his apartment. I thought he was a real kind gentleman and I told Sandy I thought her father was very cute, especially when he smiled (this was pre-beard when you could see his face). I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your memories of the happy and special times you each shared with your father/ grandfather, give you some comfort, while going through the waves of grief and sadness you experience.

Uncle Irvine , You weren’t really my uncle but that’s what I called you . Things just won’t be the same without you here . Your mischievous grin crazy humour and philosophical conversations will be greatly missed . Say hi to Alan for me . Knowing that the two of you will be together again gives me great comfort . Love you Uncle Oyvin.
