MIDDLEBURY, CT - Mr. Isidore "Izzy" Ellin, age 79 of Middlebury, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2015 at his home.
Izzy was born June 20th 1936 in Israel, and emigrated as a young child the son of the late Baruch and Martha (Gruenebaum) Ellin formerly of Ellington. He was a well-loved Physics Professor and entrepreneur, and was always passionate about his work. He cared greatly for his family, always taught a strong work ethic, and ensured his children had a religious upbringing. He concerned himself with those less fortunate, was generous, and always put others before himself even sacrificing his own well-being. His dry sense of humor was simply unlike anyone else, always leaving a curious, but happy impression. Izzy never seemed to lack energy to take on a project or help someone in need. He was unique and tireless, brilliant and intellectual. His unique perspective on life and smart advice will be missed. His absence leaves a blank space in the hearts of all who knew him.
Among his survivors, are his former spouse Anita Ellin of Thomaston CT, his children Lisa Ellin, and her husband Haym Hirsh of Ithaca, NY, Gary Ellin, and his wife, Tammie of Thomaston, CT, and Randy Ellin of East Hampton, CT in addition he leaves his three grandchildren Joshua, and Alana Ellin, and Jay Hirsh, his brother Seymour Ellin and his wife Barbara of Boston MA, as well as several nieces and nephews.
