Izzy was a generous and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle. He and Shirley recently celebrated their 59th anniversary on September 2nd, 2017. Family was everything to him. He always looked forward to family suppers on Sunday. He had strong opinions, but he would help out anyone, especially his family. He would feed his blue jays every day and banged on the windows to chase the cow birds away. Grandpa loved to watch sports, even to the point of offering the referee his glasses at his grandson’s hockey game. He was so good with numbers that he could add up any totals without a calculator. He always carried a pocket of change and whenever he was shopping, he stopped to give his granddaughter a toonie. Izzy met a lot of people through his employment with Pioneer Coop at Stewart Valley. He ran his own business with Bonogofsky’s Triple S Grocery Store. He also worked at Goodyear, OK Economy, ALCB, and, when semi-retired, at Medicine Hat Linen. Izzy will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends.
