Baruch Dayan Ha’emet: Sidney Sturtz z”l

Rabbi Marc Soloway January 7, 2016 Lifecycle Comments Off on Baruch Dayan Ha’emet: Sidney Sturtz z”l

Sidney Sturtz (Yisrael ben Reuven v’Fayga), Robert Sturtz’s father, passed away suddenly on Monday night (24 Tevet 5776) from complications from an illness. He was 94 years old and was married to Elaine for 71 (almost 72) years.  He was a very special man, the family’s greatest cheerleader, who always stayed on top of knowing what was happening with all his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He will be greatly missed.
Robert and Sara are currently in Florida for the funeral and are sitting shiva there with family and friends. They expect to return to Boulder later this month.
Shalom al nishmat Yisrael ben Reuven v’Fayga – peace on Sidney’s soul
Hamakom y’nachem – blessings of strength and comfort to Robert, Sara and all the family among the mourners of Israel.
