In Loving Memory of Jack Walter Moskowitz June 16th, 1940 - December 13th, 2023 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Walter Moskowitz, a beloved father, dedicated educator, and cherished friend. Jack passed away on Wednesday December 13th, 2023 leaving behind a legacy of warmth, wisdom, and countless fond memories. Born on June 16th, 1940, Jack grew up in Minneapolis and graduated from Minneapolis North High School, where he later returned to inspire and educate generations of students for an incredible 34 years. His passion for teaching went beyond the classroom, as he touched the lives of countless individuals with his guidance, kindness, and commitment to fostering learning. He felt like he actually learned more about living in a multicultural diverse community than he ever could give back. Jack’s continued relationship with Dr. Favor and Dr. Berry, his former students, is a prime example of a teacher learning more from their students. Jack was not only an educator but a devoted father to his only son, Lenny Moskowitz. He took great pride in Lenny's achievements and shared in the joys and challenges of life with unwavering love and support. The light of Jack's life extended to his three adoring grandchildren, Benjamin, Kendall, and Cameron Moskowitz. He reveled in the joy they brought him, and he felt immense pride in watching them grow and flourish. In addition to his family, Jack had a special place in his heart for the entire Galinson family, the Ettedguii family, Patti Carson-Thurik, Dr. Michael Favor, Dr. Stanley Berry, Dr. Mark Wilkowske, the late Dr. Gregg Lehman, the entire Tenner family, the late Irene Rossman and family, and special thanks for the love and support of Marsha Golob. These dear friends and health care providers provided companionship, laughter, and a support system that enriched Jack's life in immeasurable ways. Jack will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his dedication to education, and the lasting impact he had on the lives of those fortunate enough to have known him. His legacy lives on in the countless students he inspired, the family he cherished, and the friends who were touched by his kindness. A funeral service to celebrate Jack's life will be held on Monday December 18th at 11:00 am at: United Hebrew Brotherhood Cemetery Chapel - 2605 W 70th 1/2 St., Richfield MN 55423.
