Rabbi Marc Soloway February 28, 2016 Lifecycle Comments Off on Baruch Dayan Ha’emet: Mack Warshinsky z”l

Mack Warshinsky (Meyer ben Gershom v’Celia), father of Tamara Lester, passed away peacefully the evening of February 25, 2016.  Mack was 95 years old and lived a full and happy life and was greatly loved by friends and family.  Tamara and her brother Alan were there throughout and Tamara was there holding his hand as he breathed his last breaths.

The funeral and shiva will be back in Florida early next week.  Peace on the neshama of Meyer ben Gershom and much strength and comfort to Tamara, Alan and Mack’s surviving sister, along with all other family members and friends.

Blessings
Rabbi Marc
