klapman samIt is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle, Sam Klapman.  

Sam enjoyed a sweet life, filled with family and friends and he cherished every moment.  He was devoted to his wife of 68 years, Ruth.

Sam spent every summer of his life at Winnipeg Beach where he passed the days creating in his wood working studio, cycling and pitching horseshoes.  He was loved by many in that town and was known to everyone as Zaidy.  He welcomed his children and grandchildren throughout the winters in Palm Springs, where he also enjoyed hiking, golfing and pitching horseshoes.

Sam instilled a strong philanthropic and community spirit in his children and grandchildren and was a great supporter of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Jewish community, Israel, and countless charitable causes.

Sam travelled the world for business and pleasure, and was a passionate fisherman and poker player. He was a devoted friend to his many buddies, who were always there for each other, and he will be missed by those left behind.
