SAUL VICTOR

Saul Victor died after a life well lived but fell victim to the ravages and complications of Covid 19 on Tuesday, December 29, 2020. Saul was truly loved by all who knew him from his long time friends to the people he would meet casually, from his peers to the younger generation of guys and girls who considered him to be the coolest, but most especially he was a "brother" to his lifetime pals. Saul was most precious and loved by his family whether by blood or extension of his blended family, new in-laws, nieces, nephews, babies and girlfriends/boyfriends, grandchildren. He was their hero, their mentor, their friend.

There is a hole in our hearts for this man, Saul, who is survived by his wife, "the love of his life", Beverly (nee Rubin), his children Howard (Melissa) Victor, Wendy (Dean) Siegel, Ashley (Todd), Jason (Sarah) Siegel, and David (Michele) Siegel. Adored Pop Pop to Chad, Mara, Jennifer, Adam, Joshua, Noah, Sydney, Taylor, Stephanie, Joseph (Joey), Ryder and Bobby. He was beloved by a huge family of nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews who considered him their father/patriarch always there to give support, love and generosity.

Saul was born October 22, 1938 to Rose and Morris Victor in Wilmington, Delaware and spent his younger years living in Atlantic City, New Jersey with his siblings Jerry (deceased), Adele and Mitchell before eventually settling in Philadelphia, PA. In his teen years, he and his brother were given a trumpet by their Uncle Oscar which began their love of music. He married his high school sweetheart Sybil and after years of working as a paperhanger, entrepreneur, and owner of Pearlstein's Furniture, he realized his dream to become a singer and forming his own band. And was he "a hit". Music was in his blood and his signature was My Way (Frank Sinatra) and Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond). Saul lived a life of constant celebrations whether it was family events (and there were many), Saturday night dinners and a movie, traveling extensively, but his real passion was his love of golf and all he met on the course.

He will be truly missed and may his memory be a blessing. Funeral services are private. Contributions in his memory may be made to the Temple University School of Music, Boyer College Annual Fund (giving@temple.edu) or a charity of your choice.
