What an exemplary neshama! Reb Yitzchak went out of his way to put a smile on our faces. Dignified yet mischievous, everybody gravitated to him. At Chabad, we all miss him and look forward to Moshiach when we will be reunited againnin good cheer, this time, forever.
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.
This is so sudden and tragic!
Mr. Seider was like a Zeidy to my family and I.
We eagerly looked forward to his visits. He had us in stitches with every word that came out of his mouth. His humor was witty and direct. His positive outlook affected us deeply in a great way.
He will sorely be missed.
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...
Reb Yitzchok loved to learn and participated in as many classes as he could manage.
He always kept the classes hoping along we IYH his insightful and humorous comments.
He had the knack if connecting to everyone young or old - children 80 years younger than he - leaving them laughing.
He will truly be missed.
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.
Reb Yitzchok,
Thank you for your smile every time I would see you in shul, the street or the store. You lit up every corner in this world with your face and your words.
No matter the situation you were in, you brought a smile to everyone in the room.
May you be a gutte beter with your unique smile.
Mr. Seider was a loving father to his children, Allen, Sandy and Lenny. We wish them and all his family and friends peace during this difficult time. So sorry for the loss of this wonderful man.
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.
Dear Sandy,
So sorry to hear about your dad - wishing you long life & may the sad memories soon be replaced by the happy ones.
Love, Elana, Tony & family
