Irwin Citer age 47 of Kinnelon on Sunday, June 29, 2008 in Warwick, New York. He died as the result of a tragic motorcycle accident. His wife Jackie was with him and she has the wonderful prospect of a full recovery from her injuries.
His parents were Russian and had moved to Poland in 1957 with their oldest son Leonid. Irwin was born in Lodz, Poland in 1960. Within three months of his birth, his parents moved to Nazareth, Israel, due to the religious and political intolerance that made everyday life in Poland unbearable. Seeking a better future for their children in the United States, Irwin's family moved to the Bronx in 1965 and later settled in Wayne in 1971. After marrying Jackie, Irwin moved to Butler and then Kinnelon. Irwin and his family came to America with absolutely nothing but the clothes on their backs and, with the exception of this tragedy, they have truly lived the “American Dream”.
Irwin received his formal education first at Wayne Hills High School in Wayne graduating with the Class of 1979. He then enrolled in Ramapo College in Mahwah where he studied business administration.
By his very nature, Irwin was a hard worker who endeavored to do the best for is family. He had a photography business that specialized in sports events, little league baseball, lacrosse, soccer, and he also photographed social and charitable events in the New York Metropolitan area. He was partners with his brother, David, in a Refrigeration and Restaurant supply business in Riverdale.
Irwin and his brothers owe much to their Mother, Regina, who worked the night shift at Union Carbide Corporation in Wayne to provide for her family. She made many personal sacrifices, through thick and thin times, so that her sons would have a better life.
As a Dad, he was a wonderful provider who kept his sons deep in his heart. They were the apples of his eye.
Jackie and Irwin had twenty years of “loving and devoted” marriage together.
Surviving are his loving wife Jackie; two sons Brandan, age sixteen, and Andrew, age fourteen, his mother, Regina Citer, of Wayne, two brothers; Leonid 'Lewis' Citer and David Citer and his wife Janine, one niece; Adèle Bernard Citer and two nephews Ryan and Sean Citer, and his mother-in-law; Lois Lester.
His father Vladimir Citer predeceased him in 1991 at the age of sixty-nine years.
