Mitchell Lee Kaiser

Mitchell Lee Kaiser, age 90, of Ringwood, Nj, died at his home of 51 years on Wednesday, April 10, 2024.

Mitch was born to Martin and Mildred Kaiser in 1934 and spent his younger years with his grandmother, Bertha “Birdie”Lippmann. Mitch graduated from Forest Hills High School in Queens, New York, where he was a star baseball player. He continued his education at the City College of New York where he was Grand Regent of the Phi Alpha fraternity and graduated in 1957 with a Bachelor of Business Degree. His summers were spent working at the Sands beach club on Long Island.

Mitch spent a lifelong career in the furniture business, most memorably with Gimbels, Korvette's, Diamond Brothers, and retiring at Seaman’s.  His work took him all over Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York and New Jersey.   

Mitch loved sports of any kind. In his young adult life, he was in numerous leagues and won many trophies for tennis and bowling. When he retired from Seaman’s, he dedicated all his free time to golf and enjoyed spending time with friends on the northern New Jersey golf courses. In the evenings, he loved a great board game or a good hockey game on TV or on the radio, although he never passed up watching a football or baseball game. And while a lover of sports, Mitch also enjoyed music and never stopped listening to Frank Sinatra, but all music was welcome.

Mitch was dedicated to his daughter, Lori, and spent many weekends bowling, playing miniature golf and joining her on any roller coaster they could find. He is survived by his daughter, Lori Kaiser, and his niece and nephew, Tracey Randall and Marty Kaiser.
