Avrom "Remi" Mintz
December 16, 1932 — November 6, 2018
WORCESTER - Avrom Aaron “Remi” Mintz, 85, of Westborough died on November 6. A long life well lived.
He leaves his wife of 61 years Alisa (Berenstein) Mintz; three daughters, Naomi, wife of Dan Lowenthal of Larchmont, NY, Abby Mintz of New York City and Elizabeth Mintz-Walpert, wife of Allen Walpert of Brookline, MA; two sisters, Ellie Blank of New York City and Susan, wife of Robert Slott of Hyannis; a brother-in-law, Isaias Berenstein. He was the loving grandfather of Nathaniel, Jared and Anna Lowenthal and Allie and Harry Walpert and uncle to 14 nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his adoring parents Myer and Bessie (Rosenthal) Mintz and his sister Bernice, wife of Dan Singer.
He was born and raised in Worcester, and he graduated from Classical High School in 1950 and from MIT in 1954. He worked in real estate management, appraisal and development throughout his life. He also taught Real Estate Appraisal at Assumption College. In 1948, he traveled on one of the first boats to the newly-created state of Israel. Remi became a life-long explorer and enjoyed traveling the world with Alisa. He was a devoted fan of all New England sports teams (Go Sox!) and loved spending time on Cape Cod. Remi was a Life Master bridge player and teacher, an excellent cook, an avid golfer, and a New York Times Crossword puzzle enthusiast, but perhaps his greatest source of joy was spending time with Alisa, his children, grandchildren and family dog, Ollie.
FUNERAL SERVICES WILL BE HELD AT 11:00 AM ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH AT CONGREGATION BETH ISRAEL, 15 JAMESBURY DRIVE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF RICHARD PERLMAN OF MILES FUNERAL HOME OF HOLDEN. Burial will be in B’nai Brith Cemetery.
Memoral Observance will be held through Thursday evening, November 8th, at his residence.
Please omit flowers. Memorial Contributions may be made to The Myer and Bessie Mintz Fund at Congregation Beth Israel, 15 Jamesbury Drive, Worcester, 01609, or to the Parkinson’s Disease charity of your choice.
The family is grateful to Notre Dame Hospice for the compassionate care they gave Remi at the end of his life.
