VICTOR Saul Victor died after a life well lived but fell
victim to the ravages and complications of
Covid 19 on Tuesday, December 29, 2020.

Saul was truly loved by all who knew him
from his long time friends to the people he
would meet casually, from his peers to the
younger generation of guys and girls who
considered him to be the coolest, but most
especially he was a "brother" to his lifetime
pals. Saul was most precious and loved by
his family whether by blood or extension of
his blended family, new in-laws, nieces,
nephews, babies and girlfriends/boyfriends,
grandchildren. He was their hero, their ment-
or, their friend. There is a hole in our hearts
for this man, Saul, who is survived by his
wife, "the love of his life", Beverly (nee
Rubin), his children Howard (Melissa) Victor,
Wendy (Dean) Siegel, Ashley (Todd), Jason
(Sarah) Siegel, and David (Michele) Siegel.

Adored Pop Pop to Chad, Mara, Jennifer,
Adam, Joshua, Noah, Sydney, Taylor,
Stephanie, Joseph (Joey), Ryder and Bobby.

He was beloved by a huge family of nieces
and nephews, and great nieces and nephews
who considered him their father/patriarch al-
ways there to give support, love and generos-
ity. Saul was born October 22, 1938 to Rose
and Morris Victor in Wilmington, Delaware
and spent his younger years living in Atlantic
City, New Jersey with his siblings Jerry (de-
ceased), Adele and Mitchell before eventually
settling in Philadelphia, PA. In his teen years,
he and his brother were given a trumpet by
their Uncle Oscar which began their love of
music. He married his high school sweet-
heart Sybil and after years of working as a
paperhanger, entrepreneur, and owner of
Pearlstein's Furniture, he realized his dream
to become a singer and forming his own
band, and was he "a hit". Music was in his
blood and his signature was My Way (Frank
Sinatra) and Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond).

Saul lived a life of constant celebrations
whether it was family events (and there were
many), Saturday night dinners and a movie,
traveling extensively, but his real passion was
his love of golf and all he met on the course.

He will be truly missed and may his memory
be a blessing. Contributions in his memory
may be made to the Temple University
School of Music, Boyer College Annual Fund
(giving@temple.edu) or a charity of your
choice. GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S

Judaism isn’t just what we believe, or the prayers
we recite or the laws we observe. It’s also about
the way we live. How we interact with others.

The values we practice. The customs and traditions
we embrace and pass down, from one generation
to the next.

thropy and community service, and dedic-
ated her life toward that end. She brought
her volunteer and fundraising talents to many

ber since 1989. Cissie was also active in Ha-
dassah (Henrietta Szold chapter), Federation

life, and found joy in “paying it forward “ to
those in need. She was a remarkable role
model for her family, and delighted and in-
spired so many others fortunate enough to
know her. Contributions in her memory can
