Mr. Maurice Reznick

JULY 1921 - July 2014.

It is with much sadness and a sense of loss that we share the passing of

Maurice (Moses) Reznick on July 10, 2014, just two weeks shy of his 93rd

birthday. He was predeceased by his parents, Nathan and Lisa, his daughter

Tamara, his brothers Samuel and Saul, as well as his brother-in-law Edmund

(Schnitzer). Maurice is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Monica,

his sister Fay (Schnitzer), his three children Martin, Anthony and Erica,

and his adored grandchildren Keith, Evan, Alanna and Myles, as well as two

sister-in-laws, many nieces and nephews. Maurice was born in Berdichev,

Russia (now Ukraine) in 1921.

His parents and his brother fled Russia and traveled to Montreal when

Maurice was 2 years old. His father started a leather goods manufacturing

business where Maurice began work at age 12, although he continued his

education on to university. Along with his brothers and brother-in-law, he

later ran a successful leather goods manufacturing company, Renwick of

Canada.

He married Monica (Bainbridge) in 1948 and they continued to live in

Montreal until 1993 when they moved to Vancouver. Maurice was an enthusiast

with varied interests, particularly gymnastics, photography and travel. He

will be remembered for his outgoing vivacious personality and remarkable

charm. He lived a long, joyful life but struggled with the tragedy of mental

illness in his family. At his request, there was no service but a private

celebration of life was held in Vancouver. Condolences may be offered at
