Hyman (Hymie) Gliksman
Just short of his one hundredth birthday, Hymie passed away in Toronto, on Sunday, April 14, 2024, after a four year battle with dementia. He is survived by his three loving children and their spouses, Louis and Susan Gliksman, Sollie and Susan Gliksman, Esther and Jopel Ifergan, his cherished grandchildren and their partners, Sara Gliksman and Lorne Yuffe, Ben and Marina Gliksman, Daniel Gliksman and Amayah Orenstein, Stephanie Gliksman and Warren Garfield, Jordana Ifergan, Allyson Ifergan and Brian Korsman. A significant part of his legacy are eight great-grandchildren, Hannah and Jake Yuffe, Rose and Tali Gliksman, Noah Gliksman, Ty Garfield, Asher and Brooklynn Korsman. Also missed and predeceased is Elaine Gliksman – a very special part of the family. Not bad for a Holocaust survivor who arrived in Montreal, Canada in 1948 with his wife Chankah and little else. He worked hard and provided for his family, first by working as a tailor in a clothing factory and then by striking out on his own in the late 1950s to start his own men’s pants factory, Guarantee Slacks.
An athlete in his own right, when Hymie was a teen in Poland, he enjoyed hockey, but fell in love with baseball when he got to Canada. He enjoyed kicking around a soccer ball with his kids and grandkids and showed no mercy at the ping pong table, regardless who he was playing with. Hymie was immensely proud of his children and their accomplishments, and spoke about how talented and successful his grandkids were. His smile lit up, however briefly, when his great-grandkids came to visit.
Hymie spent four years in the worst of concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, and, together with some friends, managed to stay aIive. He was the last survivor of his group of friends who immigrated to North America. Hymie lost almost his entire family in the Holocaust, but he survived. His story is recorded in the USC Shoah Institute. Hymie met his first wife, Chankah in a DP camp, made the big move to Canada, had three kids, built a business, moved to Toronto, but was devastated when he lost Chankah in 1986. He survived! He met his second wife, Regina Silverstein, and they spent several happy years enjoying Florida and activities together. He lost Regina to a stroke. He survived!
It was Hymie’s initiative to move to an assisted living facility where he thrived for seven years. It was also his initiative to give up driving, much to the relief of his family. Then he fell, broke his hip and faced a long recovery during COVID. He survived! He spent the last three years at Baycrest Hospital, Apotex Centre, Jewish Home for the Aged, where he was well cared for by the staff, and called everyone “darling” despite his sometimes cantankerous nature. The affection they had for him was evident in the number of caregivers who came to say goodbye.
He will be desperately missed by his family, and while he is no longer physically with us, his legacy survives in his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Graveside service will take place on Monday, April 15 at 1:30 p.m., at the Zaglembier Section of the Bathurst Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, 6033 Bathurst St, North York, ON M2R 1Z3. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the Apotex Centre c/o Baycrest Foundation, (416) 785-2875, or the Toronto Holocaust Museum, (416) 631-5689. Arrangements entrusted to Steeles Memorial Chapel in Toronto.
