My sincere condolences to the Zeinfeld family from Diane, daughter of (the late) Gilbert and (the late) Henrietta Wasserman. I remember visiting Ida in Maywood when I was a young girl, and having met Victor and many of the other Zeinfelds on numerous occasions.

Victor was a good friend from Temple Beth Emet in Anaheim California. He was a loving person. We used to talk every Shabbat and sometimes over the phone especially when we did not attend services. We always loved to say goodbye to each other before we left.He loved talking about the Lakers and he told us about his urging Red Holzman to trade Walt Bellamy for Dave DeBussure which ultimately led to the Knicks winning a championship.
We loved him and will miss him!
Our condolences for his family and friends.
