DAVID PERLOV
It is with profound sadness that we announce the tragic and sudden passing of David Perlov on May 13, 2022 at 72 years old, in hospital surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife of 48 years Rona (nee Weinberg), son Daniel (Heather), daughter Allison, and grandchildren Hayden, Oliver and Eden. He is also survived by his siblings Claire Goldman, Saul Perlov, and Yvette Perlov, as well as many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews to whom he was very close. He was predeceased by his parents, Chashka and Feivel Perlov. He will be dearly missed by his family and many friends.
David was born on December 21, 1949 in Winnipeg. From an early age he developed a strong work ethic, helping in his parents’ bakery, delivering newspapers and selling Dickie-Dee ice cream as a child. Later on he tried his hand at many jobs, from selling encyclopedias to driving taxi, while in university pursuing higher education. He then received his law degree and was the only lawyer in his graduating class to immediately open his own practice. David ran this practice for over 35 years, and left his mark on the community. He continued to practice law for a few more years at Thompson Dorffman Sweatman and only recently gave up his license to practice.
Even through his dedication to work, he always found time for family, friends and many various interests. David was passionate about charity and contributing to his community. He sat on many charitable boards and participated in active fundraisers. David valued a healthy and active lifestyle including swimming, golfing, hiking and was an avid cyclist. Up until a decade ago, he enjoyed activities such as skiing, hockey and racquetball. He enjoyed playing cards and photography, as well as movies and live theatre.
David was a devoted family man. He will be missed by many, but especially his grandkids. He would always attend his grandchildren’s activities and performances and saw them daily when he drove them to and from school. He loved them with all his heart and they made him endlessly proud.
The funeral was held on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at Rosh Pina Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cancer Care Manitoba, The Jewish Foundation of Manitoba or a charity of your choice.

BARBARA GOSZER April 15, 1930 – October 6, 2024
It is with profound sadness along with gratitude for her long and purposeful life that we announce the passing of Barbara Goszer. Left with cherished recollections are her children Sharon (Steven Tritt), Elliott (Jennifer Schulz), her grandchildren Sam (Justine), Joseph (Shaun), Nicholas, Sarah, Jack and Max, and her great-grandchildren Carson and Callie. She also leaves to mourn her passing nieces Hilda (Len), Debbie (Jack), Libby (Doug) and their families who loved their “Aunty” dearly. She was predeceased by “the love of her life”, Adam, to whom she was married for almost 60 years and by a daughter, Yonah.
Barbara was born in Lwow, Poland where she often said she had an idyllic childhood until 9 years of age, when the Second World War and the Holocaust started. She was the sole survivor of her family, having been hidden by a courageous woman whom she had honoured as The Righteous Among the Nations and whose descendants sought her out in 2013, forming a warm connection over the past decade.
Barbara was a petite but strong, opinionated, principled woman with an extraordinary sense of social justice, a remarkable work ethic, and the deepest of loyalty. She lived with intention. As a living witness to a time in history when inhumanity was at its height, she spent decades dedicated to educating school aged children and their teachers throughout Manitoba and other parts of Canada about the dangers of discrimination and intolerance of diversity. She advocated standing up for others and taking action despite fear. She also encouraged appreciation for freedom and having a roof over one’s head. Her legacy will inspire her family members as well as generations of children to make a difference in bettering the world we live in. She dreamed of a world free of hatred and of a bright future.
Thank you to Dr. Sheila Domke, her primary care physician, to the entire health care team on 4 North at Grace Hospital, and to her many caregivers in the past couple of years who treated her with the utmost of dignity and respect.
Funeral services were held graveside at Rosh Pina Memorial Park on October 8, 2024. Those wishing to honour her memory can do so by making a donation to the “Barbara and Adam Goszer Holocaust Education Centre Endowment Fund” at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba.
