MAYER FALK

Mayer Falk of Claymont, DE, age 89, passed away suddenly on Saturday, September 10th, with his loving wife Teresa (Scott) of 38 years by his side.

He was born on August 3, 1933 the son of the late Jacob and Miriam (Abramson) Falk.

Mayer enlisted in the Navy when he was 17 and served aboard the USS Boxer during the Korean war. He graduated from Baltimore College with a degree in accounting and worked as an auditor, a collections manager, and a loan broker. He was an avid reader, loved traveling with his wife, and spending time with family, especially his daughters, Ellen Samet (Bob), the late Nancy Sherwood (Gene), Kathy Schwarzschild (Alan), and Lisa Harden (Heath).

He loved his six grandchildren, Jonathan Samet (Heather), the late Larry Samet, Jason Sherwood, Stephanie Adner (Matt), Rachel Wade (Kevin) and Jennifer Robbins (Jeremy) and his six great-grandchildren, Spencer and Parker Samet, Anna and Emily Wade, and Jordan and Landon Robbins. He is also survived by his dear brothers, Philip (the late Joyce) and Melvin (Carole) Falk, and his loving sister, Toba Falk.

Mayer loved the water and boats and spent many years as a volunteer helping to restore the warship Olympia at the Philadelphia Seaport Museum and the battleship New Jersey. As a volunteer in the boat shop at the Philadelphia Seaport Museum he helped build the life-sized replica of the schooner Diligence, which is currently on display.

Everyone who knew Mayer felt his big heart and giving nature. He always had a story or funny joke to share.

The family would like to thank the Emergency and ICU at Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin, MD for their compassionate care during Mayer's short stay. They'd also like to thank all of their family and friends for their support and prayers.

Memorial contributions may be sent to the Fisher House for Families of the Fallen, 116 Purple Heart Dr., Dover AFB, DE 19902.

A private service will be held at Sol Levinson Funeral Home followed by burial in the Garrison Forest Veterans Cemetery.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Delaware Veterans Post #1, 2535 Veterans Drive, Wilmington, DE on a future date and will be open to family and friends.
