Morton Macks
Sept. 26, 1919-Aug. 7, 2013
Morton died peacefully in San Francisco at age 93. He was an extraordinarily kind and loyal man and will be profoundly missed by his family and many dear friends. He was pre-deceased by his wife Ruth Wildberg Macks and daughter Judy. He is survived by his two daughters, Janet and Katie, his five grandchildren Amara, Ariana, Jordan, Jamila, Sophie, sister-in-law Jean Wildberg and two nephews Richard and David.
Morton ("Mort", "Morty") lived a very full and rich life. He was a San Francisco native, graduated from Oakland High School and was a pilot with the 93rd Bomb Group in WWII.
While he and Ruth raised their family in San Francisco, he was an active and integral member of many community boards and fully participated in numerous community events. He was a delightful, insightful and gracious man who, through humor and compassion, was part of the fabric of all of our lives. His keen wit and sense of humor made all around him laugh and smile. Our lives have been enriched in ways beyond measure and all who knew and loved Mort will miss him dearly.
Friends and family are invited to his memorial service on Sunday, August 11th at 3:00pm at Temple Emanu-El with a reception following.
Donations in Morton's honor can be made to a charity of your choice.
