Simon Kofman

Born on December 6, 1946, in Ukraine to Bernard and Esther Kofman, Simon built a life rooted in hard work, love, and community. A skilled builder by trade, he took pride in his work and the life he constructed both professionally and personally.

Simon was a devoted father and grandfather who found great joy in spending time with family and friends. He loved playing golf, cheering on the Cleveland Cavaliers, and sharing laughter and stories with those closest to him.

He was preceded in death by his sister; Leah Lebovich.
