Martin Jacob Leff passed away at home in New York City on May 28th, 2020 at the age of 85. Born in Brooklyn, NY to Harry and Miriam Leff, Martin was the beloved husband of Violet, adored father of Mara and father-in-law of Daniel, cherished grandfather of Aden, and devoted brother of pre-deceased sister Gilda. A graduate of J.H.S. 47 School for the Deaf and Stuyvesant High School, Martin received a B.M.E. from NYU and a M.M.E. from CCNY. He worked as a mechanical engineer for many years and was an inventor on a number of patents. He later started his own business, MVM Corporation, dedicated to designing and distributing assistive devices for the deaf and blind. A man of great integrity and humor, Martin cared deeply about the welfare of others, especially those with disabilities. His kindness and generosity will be sorely missed. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to "47" Alumni Association of the Deaf, Inc., 65-20 167th Street, Fresh Meadows, NY 11365-1938.
