Seymour “Zoom” Fleisher age 88 of Frenchman’s Creek Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Passed away peacefully on December 18, 2011 surrounded by his loving family.
He was born in Newark as one of eight children. He received his formal education at Newark grammar school and later at Weequahic High School.
He had lived his formative years in Newark and later in life lived in Wayne, Kinnelon, Fort Lee and Palm Beach Gardens.
Soon after his graduation from High School the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and a ground swell of patriotism, in American youth, which Zoom was a part of, rose up and wanted to join the military to defend their country. In 1942 Zoom along with two of his brothers, signed up in the Army and were assigned to the Army Air Force which was then a part of the Army. He had always wanted to fly and this gave him a chance to pursue this aviation ambition. It was not long before he had his wings and was trained as a pilot in a large bomber known as a B-29 serving in the 20th Air Force, 315th Bomb Wing. He flew a total of ten missions over Japan and other parts of the South Pacific theatre of the war. His rank was Captain Seymour Fleisher. He often said that his military experience led him to great things.
After his discharge in 1946 he went to the Newark College of Engineering, and graduated in 1951 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. It was at NJIT that he was given the name “Zoom” for his fast footwork on the basketball team.
He married his sweetheart Estelle and started his own metal manufacturing business which he named Pilot Technologies. His business specialty was precision components and assemblies that served the electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, aviation, medical and utilities industries throughout North America. His shop was impressive with the latest technology in forming and perforating metal for technical completion. As he would take you on a tour of his facility he had saved some older stamping machines and explained to you how he along with Estelle would sit there side by side and work the foot treadles of these machines together. He always said that she had a big part of his success in business.
He had wonderful success in the business world. If you were to evaluate his achievements you would conclude that he always worked at 125% or more and was honest and faithful in his business transactions even to a fault. In the business world he was admired and loved by his customers as well as his employees whom he gave much credit for his successes. He would say it is because of my employees that I am successful and he always considered his customers as the boss.
His favorite saying as written by Mark Twain earlier was : “Always do right, this will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”
Zoom and Estelle were married for fifty-two years until Estelle’s passing in 1997. This man just loved his wife with great intensity and even in her years of declining health his greatest daily concern was his loving wife Estelle. He was as perfect at being a husband as his creator could mold him.
Zoom was admired by many people. He had a way within his personality of reaching out to others in very genuine and loving ways. He simply loved people and if he heard of someone in distress or in need he would reach out to them to help and would want nothing in return. He was generous with money as well as his heart and as a result was admired by many people.
He had many celebrations in life including a very special 85th birthday party at his country club inviting over four hundred guests. These celebrations would be parties that his guests would never forget and they would go home afterwards knowing that this gift of enjoyment came right from Zoom and Estelle’s heart. In one format or another they had to say to themselves what a wonderful friend. When he played he played big but did not do it alone. He wanted all of his friends to join in and he made it happen.
As a family man he also excelled with love and caring for his son Bruce and again with his grandchildren. He loved to be called Grampy by his grandchildren. They indeed were the apple of his eye.
Surviving to cherish the memory of this wonderful man are one son Bruce Fleisher and his wife Ellen of Delray Beach, Florida; two grandchildren Ronni Molinari and her husband Gioel; great-grandsons Luca and Max, grandson Steven and his wife Julie; also survived by four brothers and two sisters and his loving partner Anita Fishbein of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
For those who inclined donations can be made in honor of Zoom to the New Jersey Institute of Technology Building Fund, Administrative Offices, 323 Martin Luther King Boulevard, Newark, NJ 07102.
