Meyer Chaskin, Sept. 12, 1932 to January 30, 2023
Loving husband and devoted father and grandfather. Family was important to Meyer. He was born in Houston to Mollie and Abe Chaskin, and never desired to leave as that is where his extended family and friends were. His passion for genealogy took him to New York and on an adventure to Slovakia to help him fill out his family tree.
Architect, fisherman, skier, stock charter/investor, photographer, reader, lifelong learner, lover of classical music - these are just a few words that describe Meyer.
He is predeceased by Shirley, the love of his life and wife of 57 years, and his daughter Carrie Sussman of Dayton, OH.
He leaves behind daughter and son-in-law Lisa and Mark Perlmutter of San Diego, CA, granddaughter Flora Perlmutter of Lebanon, NH, grandson Eric Sussman of Dayton, OH, brother and sister-in-law Sam and Sandra Chaskin, sister and brother-in-law Celine and David Hecht and his many nieces and nephews and their families.
Donations in his memory may be made to the Kaplan Museum at Congregation Beth Yeshurun (
