ABE AIDELBAUM
With great sadness, the family announces the passing of a wonderful dad, grandfather, father-in-law and friend at age 93 on November 25, 2021. He will be dearly missed by his sons Stephen and Martin, daughters-in-law Tanis and Barbara, grandchildren Robert, Shannon, Samuel, David, Katrina and Eytan and his companion Patricia Hurst. Abe was predeceased by his wife Marianne Aidelbaum (nee Kokotow) and his parents Carrie and Saul Aidelbaum. His wishes were to have a memorial service with his family and friends in summer 2022.
Abe’s family would like to thank all the kindness and support expressed by everyone during this time. Special thanks to a true friend, Dr. Jim Rumball, for his unwavering friendship and loving care. We are also grateful to Dr. Augusto Estrada, who helped sustain Abe’s quality of life and dignity for the last year.
As a teenager, he developed a love of skiing at the Kirkland Lake Ski Club in Culver Park. Recognizing the need for a more significant hill, he was one of the founders of Raven Mountain Ski Hill and the ski school. He worked for many years in the family business “Saul’s”, but at age 52, he changed career paths and started North Gro Development producing seedlings for reforestation. As president of North Gro, he worked with the University of Toronto, Faculty of Forestry and helped take several small-scale research projects to commercial viability.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Abe’s memory can be made to a student bursary set up at Northern College, Kirkland Lake Campus in honour of the years that Abe served as a member of the Board of Governors (1975-1981) and as Chairman of the Board (1978-1979). In his years of service to the Northern College Board of Governors, Abe was a key contributor to creating the James Bay Education Centre in Moosonee, Ontario.
