IZZY SHORE
Izzy Shore passed away suddenly at his home on August 5, 2024. He was 85.
He is survived by his daughters, Marilyn (Roberto), Carla, and Sheryl, by his partner Sonia Kaplan, and by his grandchildren, Emilia, Silvio, Ethan, Kevin (Quinn), Lila, Noa, Hugo and Joseph. He was predeceased by his wife Rachelle and parents, Hymie and Rose.
Izzy was born in Winnipeg, an only child. He was surrounded by many aunts and uncles and many cousins who became his close friends.
He graduated from St. John’s High School and completed his engineering degree at the University of Manitoba. Meeting Rachelle (Shelley) at a party when she needed a ride home led to a courtship and their marriage in 1962. After Marilyn was born, they moved into a house in Garden City where they raised their family and lived until Shelley’s death in 2007.
Izzy spent all his working years with Manitoba Hydro as an electrical engineer. Retiring early, he then volunteered at the Manitoba Electrical Museum and the Fringe Festival. He had many leadership roles, including president of his condo association and computer club, and board member of his credit union. Keeping up to date on computers, Izzy was the ‘tech support’ guy for his friends.
Izzy thrived after retirement and pursued activities that brought him joy. He was enthusiastic about the arts, and held season tickets for Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Warehouse, the symphony and the opera. He was an integral part of the Jewish community, and enjoyed his daily Kildonan Park walking group, breakfasts and lunches with friends.
He had the opportunity to travel extensively with Shelley, as well as with his daughters’ families. He traveled to Vancouver and Montreal regularly to visit his children and grandchildren, being there to celebrate birthdays, enjoying adventures and quiet moments, always with a silly story to share.
Izzy was fortunate to find Sonia in his later years. They shared a love of theatre that blossomed into a lovely relationship.
A quiet man, Izzy was a big thinker and an avid reader, particularly of mystery novels. His daily routine included reading the New York Times, the Globe and Mail and the Winnipeg Free Press. He was well liked, helpful and respected.
Izzy was a patient, dependable, generous, kind, supportive father, Zaida, and friend. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Donations in his memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
Funeral was held on August 8 at Temple Shalom.

I met Izzy when he moved into our condo and attended one of the AGM meetings. Of course when we spoke about Hydro he very quickly gave his expert opinion. Izzy was voted onto the Board for his knowledge, respect for others and calm demeanor. I sat with him for two terms on the Condo Board, he was a respected neighbor and a better friend. R.I.P Izzy, I will miss the sound of your laugh. - Posted by: Jean Robinson (Friend / past Board member) on: Aug 17, 2024

I met Izzy at Manitoba Hydro and eventually he became my supervisor in the Engineering Dept. He always had a common sense attitude and was willing to discuss alternatives and make decisions bases on sound engineering and monetary principles. He was fair to his employees - Posted by: Ray Molinski (friend, co-worker) on: Aug 15, 2024

Izzy, a Shining Light every time we met and left with great feelings at Hydro of brotherhood not necessarily in total agreement but respect. Retirement meant a continued contact at the M.E.M. (Manitoba Electrical Museum) and on occasion with his WALKING friend John. Izzy, you shocked me with your sudden departure and I am happy to say, Thank You for leaving this world a, BETTER PLACE.
