Marty Schleifman, 88, passed away on June 26 at his home in Greenfield Center, NY. He went peacefully, surrounded by his loving wife Jeanne and son Bruce. He was the son of the late Morris and Celia Schleifman. He grew up in the Bronx, NY, with his three brothers; Edward, David and Milton. They moved to Rockland County in the 1940's, where he raised his family and started Tri-M Dental lab.
Always an outdoor enthusiast, he bought a
weekend retreat near Saratoga, and spent many happy weekends working on his
home and property. He retired at sixty
and moved full time to Greenfield Center, where he devoted himself to creating
the ultimate family retreat. Marty was
passionate about fishing and hunting and enjoyed skiing, snowmobiling and golf. He shared his enthusiasm for his home with his
extended family and many friends.
His love of
life helped him to overcome the many medical challenges he endured over his
lifetime. His true love was his wife and
partner of 67 years, Jeanne. Family was
the center of his life. His nieces and
nephews spent many wonderful weekends gathering at the family home. They later brought their children and
grandchildren to enjoy the "Shangri La" Marty and Jeanne had
created. He loved his grandchildren;
Marnie, Joanne, Erica and Scott, and his great granddaughters; Siena and
Sophie, teaching them to fish, ski and appreciate nature. He took great pride in his sons; Steve and
Bruce, and was devastated by the early passing of his eldest son Steve in 2008.
He touched
the lives of all who knew him, and he will be forever in our hearts.
In his final
months, he was lovingly cared for by Jeanne, Bruce and his daughter-in-law,
Pam. Great appreciation to Saratoga
Hospice for making his last months’ so comfortable, and assisting the family
with grace and dignity. Donations may be
