His five grandchildren, Jessica, Emily, and Hannah Bloom; and Joshua and Noah Zeitz, were his pride and joy, he was always their “pal”. Son of the late Morris and the late Fanny Gropper. Brother and brother-in-law of Queenie and the late Gaby Grosz, and predeceased by his sister, Sarah Gropper. Brother-in-law of Donna and the late Joey Kruger. He will be warmly remembered by his family and many friends for being such a kind, funny and generous man. Aaron was the truest embodiment of the term Mensch. His passions were golf, tennis, fressing and, most of all, his family. Aaron’s career took him from social work at Neighborhood House to corporate human resources, always mentoring and counseling everyone he met. The family would like to thank Dr. Esfahani and the many doctors and nurses who treated Aaron for their professional and compassionate care. A private graveside service to take place. Shiva private.
