Irving

Rosenberg

Obituary

Irving Joseph Rosenberg, 91, passed away at his Newington home on Saturday, (July 7, 2012). Irving was the son of the late Ada and William Rosenberg. He was born in Hartford at Mount Sinai Hospital. He leaves behind his loving wife, Miriam (Laurie) of 65 years. He was predeceased by his sisters Sophie Irwin and her late husband Archie, formally of New London CT, and Ethel Levine and husband Edward of West Hartford. In addition to his wife he is survived by his son Stuart E. Rosenberg and his wife Mary Lynn of Bristol, CT, his daughter Sharon Gorlick Royer and her husband Peter of West Hartford, CT, and his sister Charlotte Saportin and her late husband George of Hamden CT. He is also survived by his loving grandchildren, Ean Gorlick, Alicya-Megan Suffish and her husband Max, Ellen Rosenberg, William Southall, two great grandchildren, Taylor and Jayden Suffish and several nieces and nephews. Irving was a WWII US Army Veteran. He served as a Sergeant Major and a member of the Military Police. Irving was also a member of Jewish War Veterans and a member of Beth El Temple, West Hartford. He retired from the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Newington and West Haven where he served as a Purchasing Agent. Prior to this position he was a Manager of several movie theaters including the original Central Theatre in West Hartford. Early on in his business career he also was the Manager of Nemrow Bros Wholesale Candy and Tobacco Company in Hartford CT many years. Irving was an extremely hard worker and enjoyed working until he was 84. He worked several jobs for many years to provide for his family. He was a Manager ahead of his time when it came to business. He adored his wife and was so proud of his children, grandchildren and great grand children. Irving always had a smile, never had a bad word to say about anyone, and easy going. Known as the “nicest man you’d ever meet.” He will also be remembered for his beautiful voice, singing his happy tunes, and his passion for the old Blue Hills Community and downtown Hartford. The family wishes to thank members of the Medical and Nursing Staff of Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center for the outstanding care especially Dr. Bernard Clark whom we all adore. In addition, we also like to thank his nurse, Gina Corraccio for her outstanding care and his care givers, Ellen T. and Claire for their patience and devotion.

Funeral service will be held Monday, July 9, 2012 at 11 a.m. at the Jonathan Welfare Society Cemetery/Albany Jewish Cemetery on Garden Street off of Tower Ave. in Hartford. A memorial period will be observed at the home of his daughter, Sharon Gorlick Royer in West Hartford Monday following the interment through Thursday evening. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Beth El Temple, 2626 Albany Ave., West Hartford, CT 06117 or to St. Francis Hospital Foundation, 95 Woodland St., Hartford, CT 06105.

I worked with Irv for 14 years at the VA Medical Center in both Newington and West Haven. Not only did we work together but I had the pleasure of having lunch with Irv every single work day. I can honestly say that Irv was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Irv taught me a great deal about Government purchasing. As a matter of fact Irv urged me to go into Government contracting. You might say that Irv changed my life for which I am eternally grateful. I do not want to sound mushy but I truly loved Irv Rosenberg. He was the embodiment of the old fashioned work ethic in which he led by example.

Rest in peace Irv,

Your friend always,

Bruce

I have very fond memories of Mr. Rosenberg working side by side with my Dad at Nemrows in Hartford. He was a great man and my father thought the world of him. I hope your fond memories of him are a comfort to the family at this time. Marci Feigenbaum- Bergmann .

I worked many years with Irv and his cheerful, optimistic attitude made my day seem brighter. He had a formidable work ethic and was an inspiration to all around him. I have missed him a lot since he left the VA.

I was privileged to work side by side with Irv for several years in the West Haven purchasing department. I missed him when he went into retirement.
I respected him for his work ethic, the love he expressed daily for his family and the stories he told me daily. I knew all about the produce business he worked with his father in the early years and all the events he experienced in WW2.
He was a true gentleman and I am proud to call him my friend.
