Dear Eva and family, We are so sorry for your loss. We have so many wonderful memories of our weekly dinners + bridge games and times around the pool in Florida. We will miss our frequent polemical exchanges, Earl’s dry sense of humour and commitment to the Jewish community which was an example to everyone. But most of all, we will miss Earl’s friendship. May his memory be a blessing.

Brenda & Rick Bornstein January 07, 2026 12:12 PM
Dear Eva and family. Baruch Dayen HaEmet. We liked Earl very much. He had the qualities to be admired, being modesty, humility, honesty and being his own person. We first met in 1975 at a program for expectant parents; we learned to tune tap as a refuge from pain of the contractions. I (Rick) got to know Earl when I became involved in ‘Shule business’ several years later. I ascended to the Treasurer’s role quickly as there were few takers for the position and it was here that Earl was so generous of his time as a source of knowledge and a person with whom I shared ideas and sought counsel. For a short time, we golfed together and we were able to laugh at each other’s inability to play the game. One of the most memorable comments he made to me, back in 2015 we disagreed on who would make the best PM for Canada. He thanked me for the civility of the conversation. May his memory be for a blessing. Brenda and Rick

Marilyn and Frank Kisluk January 06, 2026 10:50 PM
Dear Eva, Karen, Laurie, Mark, Michael and families, Marilyn and I were very saddened to hear of Earl’s passing. We have many wonderful memories of Earl. While at Western in the early 1960’s, Earl and I became close friends and I was warmly welcomed into his home. After graduating, we celebrated by travelling together by car (his graduation present) across Canada and the U.S. It was Earl’s advice that influenced my decision to become a Chartered Accountant. Later, in Toronto, Marilyn and I often walked the track at The Fitness Institute with Earl, sharing a time of wonderful conversations. When Earl listened to you, he gave you the gift of his full attention. Earl will always stand out in our memories – his quiet demeanor, his thoughtfulness and his wry sense of humour, always accompanied by that slight grin. Our deepest condolences to all of you. May your happy memories of the past help you at this difficult time May his memory always be a blessing.
Carol Grosh & John Levi January 06, 2026 07:41 PM

Dear Eva and family: I only met Earl once when Fred and I had our Maj group over for brunch. Listening to your son and grandchildren and the rabbi''s read words, I feel sorry that time did not allow us to get to know him. I do know that Eva you were very dedicated to him and took great care to make sure he was looked after. His needs always came first. I know you will sadly miss him. May his memory always be a comfort.

Howard and Minna Stein January 06, 2026 10:51 AM
Dear Eva, Karen and family. Our most sincere condolences on Earl''s passing. We never got to know Earl til very recently when Howard got the chance to spend time with him on the golf course. He was a gentleman, teacher and a wonderful person to be with. His sense of humour and timing was as amazing as dry. But we knew all about Earl from friends and our daughter Danielle who thought the world of him, rightfully so. He will be appreciated and missed by many. He was a true mench. May his memory serve as a blessing to the family and all who knew him. Our thoughts are with you. Howard and Minna Stein
Morty & Gloria Sacks January 06, 2026 10:46 AM

Dear Biderman family we were so saddened to hear of Earl’s passing. We have wonderful memories of many winters spent together in Florida at the yacht club. He was a quiet but gentle man and our winters will not be the same without him here. He was the epitome of what a true mench is. Harry also has many memories of Earl from his days working with Shoppers.KZ May all your wonderful memories be some comfort to you at this sad time. You are in our thoughts
Arthur and Ann Bookman January 06, 2026 09:59 AM
Dear Eva and Family, We are so sad to hear of Earl''s passing. Earl is to me one of those people you meet early in life and never forget. He was one of our small Jewish group at the University of Western Ontario (now ''Western'') in the early 1960''s. Quiet, thoughtful, intelligent. We met up several times after we graduated, and I was always so happy to see him. Ann and I send our deepest condolences to you and your family Eva, and we hope that the memory of him will bring you comfort in the course of time.
Barbara Silverstein Gans January 06, 2026 09:20 AM
Dear Eva, Michael and families, On behalf of my sisters Lynne and Judy, I send you our condolences. Our families too spent many years sharing good times with the Biderman clan. I personally was good friends with Steven and I know Michael and Dale and Earl with Lynne. The Biderman house was always open to us girls! Earl was to me always the big brother, quiet, kind and contemplative. Later in life I was in a computer class with Honey and the story unwound. We put the pieces together and realized Earl and Eva lived around the corner from us in Toronto. Our lives continued to intersect. Memories of the good times in London are never erased. We want to offer our sincerest condolences. Lynne, Judy and Barbie.
Dana & Jason Geall January 06, 2026 09:19 AM

Marlene Moscoe January 06, 2026 08:18 AM
Eva & family. My sincere condolences. I always enjoyed playing against you & Earl at Hazels . Earl always had such a warm smile.
David Edwards January 06, 2026 06:35 AM
Dear Biderman Family I am so very sorry to hear of Earl''s passing and I have fond memories of playing golf with him during my time with the Hacker Group back in the day. He was a man of decency, fairness and integrity who devoted himself to the well being of his family and his Beth Tikvah Family where he became a President over the many years I was a member. He will undoubtedly be remembered as someone with a Shem Tov , a good name and the world has lost a fine person indeed. I extend to you all long life, good health and the very best of memories as you encounter these difficult days. May you be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem and Earl''s name will be a continuing blessing to all of us who were fortunate enough to know him. David Edwards
Susan Shames January 05, 2026 11:42 PM

David Chudnovsky and Ruth Herman January 05, 2026 09:24 PM
Dear Eva, Karen, Laurie, Mark and Michael. We are so sorry to hear this sad, sad news. As others have said, Earl was the oldest of us cousins. We had so many good times together in that busy house in London. He was, from the time we were kids, smart, soft-spoken, and thoughtful - and fun. And then when we became adults it was a treat to spend time with both Earl and Eva. We hope in this difficult time you are able to recall all the good times you had with your partner, your father, your brother - and that those memories bring you comfort and contentment. David Chudnovsky and Ruth Herman
Frank Hoffman January 05, 2026 07:23 PM
Dear Eva and family. My sincere condolences on your profound loss. Earl was a quiet giant in his actions and spirt. May you find comfort knowing he was so loved and respected by all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing.
Jess Feldberg January 05, 2026 07:04 PM
Dearest Bidermans…I am so sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. Earl always appeared to be such a serious man, but once you knew him you knew he was full of heart and cared about everyone in his life…including his teenage kids’ friends (that was me). Bidermans - may Earl’s memory be a blessing. Sending lots of love to all of you.
Shel & Esther Freelan January 05, 2026 06:54 PM
Dear Eva and family; We are extremely saddened by the loss of Earl, especially after our relatively brief opportunity for reconnection in recent years. Earl remains as one of the nicest, most thoughtful people who I have ever had the opportunity to know, after his being the very first person I met in the Jewish community on enrolling at Western those many years ago.Be strong and be comforted with his memories to guide you. Shel and Esther
Cecil and Elaine Brauer January 05, 2026 05:51 PM

Dear Eva and Family, Our sincere condolences on the passing of Earl. I first met Earl when I started my membership at Beth Tikvah in 1994 and through your sister Honey. I found him to be a kind, friendly man who will be missed by many. May his memory be a blessing and may you be comforted by fond memories of your lives together. Linda and Ron Morris
Harvey and Shirley Anne Haber January 05, 2026 03:50 PM
Dear Eva and family, Our sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Earl, a thoughtful, quiet and sincere gentleman who we would often pass and chat with in the foyer of Palace Gate. As a past president of Beth Tikvah, we were excited when you moved into our building. May wonderful memories comfort you at this difficult time. And may Earl’s memory always be for a blessing.
Eileen & Marty Belitz January 05, 2026 03:36 PM
Dear Eva and family. Our sincere condolences to all. I remember working with Earl for many years at SDM. I recall when answering the phone, many of us would just say “hello! “ Earl always said “ Earl Biderman speaking! “ . These were the days before call display. They were good times when all of us at head office were like family.
Chuck Resnick January 05, 2026 03:17 PM
Eva and family, Anne & I were very sorry to hear the news of Earl''s passing. Please accept our condolences. Both of us knew Earl through SDM. Me at the office and Anne as an Associate. Earl was part of our SDM poker group for many years. He had the perfect poker face but as you knew, behind that often stoic face stood a very wry sense of very intelligent humour. He often cracked me up when he spoke and then broke into laughter himself. Earl is one of the good guys and we feel very privileged to have known him and called him both a friend and a colleague. The picture you chose is a perfect example of an Earl''s smile. Please accept our condolences and may Earl''s memory be for a blessing.
Renee and Frank Shostack January 05, 2026 02:47 PM
Dear Eva, Karen, Laurie, Mark and Michael and families, Renee and I are deeply saddened by his passing. My friendship with Earl goes back to our first day at Western in 1962 and continued through the years. His integrity, humour and basic decency defined him as a genuine Mensch. We will miss him, but he will always be in or hearts and minds.
Hershel Guttman January 05, 2026 02:34 PM
As a past president who was helped by Earl when I needed it most, he will be missed. Both feet firmly planted on the ground, Earl never held back his best advice, which was always needed. He was very special.
Howard & Carolyn Rose January 05, 2026 02:34 PM
We were very sad to learn of Earl''s passing. I had the pleasure, no honour, to work with Earl at Beth Tikvah. He was a man with great intelligence and foresight. Quiet in demeanour yet strong in his beliefs. A quiet, thoughtful person with a decent sense of humour. May his memory sustain you through this very difficult period.
Saloni Sachdeva January 05, 2026 01:32 PM
Dear Karen , my deepest condolences to you and your family. With heartfelt sympathy, saloni.

Josh & Eileen Mendelsohn January 05, 2026 12:17 PM
Dear Eva and the Biderman family: It is with deep sorrow that we read of Earl''s passing. I met Earl many years ago as I was getting involved in Synagogue committee and board activities and have always valued his knowledge, experience and ethics, and learned a great deal from him. He had his opinions but was always ready to listen and respectfully debate different points of view. I always enjoyed meeting with him. He will be missed. May his memory be for a blessing. Josh & Eileen Mendelsohn

Ron Sluser January 05, 2026 10:41 AM
Such very sad news Eva and Michael
Edda and Ron Laxer January 05, 2026 10:25 AM
Dear Eva and family, We were very sad to read the news about Earl. I (Ron) first met Earl through the Beth Tikvah Board when I chaired a committee, and he was the President. He was an outstanding President, did not interfere and let us do our work but always knew what was going on and assisted when needed. We of course then got to know him a lot better through the “Tikvah 5”, of which he was a founding member, with the first event being at your home 18 years ago. He was a gracious host, and guest, kind, extremely intelligent with a wide range of interests on which he held strong opinions, but always ready to debate them in a respectful way with a great sense of humor. We will miss him. May happy memories sustain you thought the difficult days ahead. Edda and Ron
Gale and Jerold January 05, 2026 08:52 AM
Dear Biderman Families … we have many cherish memories that were shared with our families on Ames Circle.

Dear Eva and Family. We are so sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. Please accept our sympathy and condolences. Words, I know have little meaning at a time like this, but please know you are in our thoughts.
Linda and Mel Kochberg January 05, 2026 08:21 AM
Dear Eva and family. In the summer of 1973, Shoppers Drug Mart asked me to relocate to Vancouver to work with Cunningham Drugs who we had acquired 2 years prior. We remained in Vancouver until 1983 when we returned to Toronto. For the first several years my interaction with Earl was infrequent, limited to the times Earl would come West with new policies and procedures from Toronto office. Even so, I was able to recognize the kind of person Earl was. A proud and traditional Jew and a devoted husband. While we were both working in Toronto I was able to gain a fuller measure of the man Earl was. Reliable, tenacious, motivated and hard working. I was shocked to read of his passing. May his memory be for a blessing. Mel Kochberg
Izzy and Marcia Snyder January 05, 2026 07:10 AM
Earl was a very valuable employee of Shoppers Drug Mart. He was a mench. May his memory be a blessing for the family Izzy and Marcia

Steve and Chaya Meyer January 05, 2026 12:10 AM
Dearest Eva, Words alone cannot express the depth of our sorrow for the loss of our dear friend Earl. When compared to the years of friendship with others offering their condolences, we pale by comparison, but these past 16 years were an absolute blessing to us. Our times together in Florida were truly memorable and will be cherished always. I found, in Earl, a kindred spirit which quickly developed into a wonderful friendship, one that I will miss terribly. I’ll miss our golfing together, our weekly bridge games, our discussions on how to repair this broken world, but mostly I will miss my friend Earl for the person he was. His love of you, and family knew no bounds, and to all of you we offer our deepest and most profound condolences on Earl’s passing. Steve and Chaya
Neill & Linda Judelman January 04, 2026 11:18 PM
Dear Eva, we were so very sorry to hear of Earl’s passing. Please know we are thinking of you, & send sincerest condolences. Will cherish the fond memories of our bridge games, both in Toronto & Florida. May you know no further sorrow. Neill & Linda

His gentle smile and quiet strength will live on in our hearts forever. We hold you and your family close in our thoughts and prayers as you face this unimaginable loss. Much love Lori & Michael
Carl Goldenberg January 04, 2026 10:42 PM

Douglas Millstone January 04, 2026 10:35 PM
Dear Eva and family I am so saddened by Earl''s passing. I knew him well from both Beth Tikvah friendship, involvement in the lay leadership and our times on the golf course. Great guy.

Harold and Robin Drutz January 04, 2026 10:15 PM
Dear Eva and the entire Biderman-Miller families: My wife Robin (nee: Hoffer) and I send our deepest condolences and prayers.

May his memory forever be a blessing
Scott and Elise Goldberg and family January 04, 2026 10:02 PM
Dear Karen, Cory, Jordyn and Josh, To Eva and the whole family: We are deeply saddened to hear of Earl’s passing, such an incredible husband, father, father in law, and grandfather. We have heard many stories of his infamous wit, extensive knowledge of politics and world events, and unparalleled love of the Jays that was passed on to his kids and grandkids. We are grateful to have spent some time getting to witness this and his love and dedication to his family. He leaves a tremendous legacy and cherished memories that we hope will bring comfort in this difficult time. May his memory be for a blessing, Baruch Dayan HaEmet. We are here for you for anything you need. Scott, Elise, Matthew and Maya
Donna Gray January 04, 2026 09:55 PM

Mel and Rochelle Reingold January 04, 2026 09:40 PM
Rochelle and I offer our heartfelt condolences to the family at this sad time. I had the pleasure of working closely with Earl occasionally during my tenure at Shoppers’ head office. During one particularly boring project, I quickly learned about Earl’s dry but sharp wit. He made a very boring long project go quickly. I also had the pleasure of playing bridge with Earl , where his sharp mind made him an excellent playerpartner.

Dear Eva, Karen, Laurie, Mark and families. We are so very saddened by Earl’s passing. We have been friends for 50 years and his death is wrenching. But Earl checked all the boxes: a loving husband, a great father, a proud and involved grandfather, a dependable brother, a true friend with a wicked sense of humour, an upstanding financial manager—a mensch. I hope the love you shared and the happy times remembered bring comfort at this difficult time. Much love, Ros and Jack

Danielle & Mike Steinman January 04, 2026 05:49 PM
May Earl’s memory be for a blessing. Earl will be remembered for his unmistakable sense of humour — the kind that caught you off guard, made you groan, and then made you laugh anyway. His timing, and that legendary yard full of rhubarb are all woven into laughter and are fondly remembered. He had a way of leaving an impression simply by being himself, and those memories will continue to bring smiles long after. Sending comfort to Eva, Karen and the Freeds, Laurie & Joe, Mark and Nathalie, and of course uncle Mike, the grandkids and cousins, and all those who loved him. BDE With much love Danielle, Mike, and the Steinmans.

Dear Eva and family, We are so saddened to hear of Earl’s passing. We have known both of you for so many years. Our children went to school together and that is how we met. Earl was quiet but never hesitated to join the conversation with his knowledge on many topics and his sense of humour. He was kind and loved his family deeply. We spent good times together in Toronto and also in Florida. May good memories bring a smile to your face. And may his memory be a blessing. Gayle and Alf Kwinter

Elaine and Howard Hoffman January 04, 2026 04:59 PM
Dear Eva, Michael, Karen, Laurie, Marc and all your families, We are so sorry to learn of Earl’s passing, especially in light of all the progress he made this past year after his stroke. I, (Elaine)have known Earl all my life. He was my only “big cousin” and a cherished first grandchild in the Biderman family. All those years when we were children, there would be happy trips back-and-forth to see our London cousins and their parents. I remember how excited I was to attend Earl’s bar mitzvah weekend. Earl was shy but smart, hard working, had a good sense of humor, and was straightforward. Since we were married before he and Eva, we remember when they sent us a telegram the year we were studying and living in Israel that said “B (Boobie) and Z (Zaidee) are expecting a great grandchild and we’ve decided it’s up to you!” However, Earl & Eva beat us to it! We enjoyed watching each other‘s families grow and attending the many simchas and other visits. Earl hates the cold so over the past 10 years we have enjoyed seeing each other here in Florida and in Toronto, both at each other’s homes and more recently in restaurants. Earl was a great cousin, brother, husband, father and grandfather, who will be greatly missed by all of us. May you be comforted by all the shared love and good memories of his life. Sending you much love, Elaine and Howard.

Dear Eva and family, I am so sad to learn of your loss. I am one of Earl’s golf friends. We played together at least once a week through the golf season for the last many years. We got to know one another very well through those many mornings on a golf cart. I learned how deeply he loved his family, how thankful he was to be married to Eva, how honest he was; (Earl was the only golfer I knew who actually counted every stroke) and how knowledgeable he was about politics at all levels. I loved debating with him, he was very smart. May his memory bring you comfort. Larry Maker

Dear Eva and Family, We are shocked and saddened to learn of Earl’s passing. Marvin and Earl both joined Shoppers Drug Mart in June of 1974 and enjoyed a close 25 year business relationship during the Company’s rapid growth cycle. Earl was a solid financial manager who oversaw huge budgets with honesty and integrity. We shared a wonderful trip to China in 2010 and have many photos of Earl having a great time. Our community has lost a dedicated supporter. We know his family are proud of his legacy. May his memory be for a blessing.
