Dear Linda and family, We were very sorry to read of the passing of Moe. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Our friendship began when we met at 20 Baif in Richmond Hill. It was special. We so enjoyed each others company ! When you moved to B.C. we were sad but pleased for your choice to be close to your family! However we managed to continue our communication through e mail and your visits to Toronto. Cherish your treasured memories, forever! With special thoughts Bev and Norm English

We were heartbroken to hear about Moe’s passing. He was an amazing mentor to Dan, a great friend to both of us, and we will miss him deeply. Moe brought so much laughter to everyone around him with his sharp wit and great sense of humour. He was also a talented musician and we felt privileged to watch him play the drums at Dan’s going away party. Thinking of you Linda, and your family, and sending much love and support during this difficult time.

When I was 20, still in university, and working part-time in the courts, I clerked for His Worship Rotman. He was kind, patient and very professional. I learned a lot from him. I never thought I would eventually become a Justice of Peace. His Worship was one of the JPs who set the foundation for the dignity and respect Ontario Justices of the Peace enjoy today. My condolences to the Rotman family.
Susanne Chir Stimpson January 23, 2026 09:26 AM

Lynne STETHEM January 22, 2026 07:11 PM
My first experience with Moe was sitting beside him observing while he presided in bail court. His knowledge was extensive and he shared it generously but the application of his down to earth common sense was most memorable. I appreciated his sense of humour along with his complaints and the angst about his golf game. Moe was a very special individual and he will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family.
Marion Newson January 22, 2026 06:55 PM

Debbie & Mike Vinokur January 22, 2026 06:54 PM
Dear Linda, Roz & Nelson & families Our deepest condolences to you. My memories of Moe go way back to my teenage years when I was a witness to a car accident and guess who was the JP! I can only hope Moe and my dad are kibbitzing together like the good old days. Our thoughts are with you at this time. Debbie & Mike Vinokur

Dear Rotman Family, Please accept my deepest sympathy. I enjoyed working with Moe. He was very kind to me when I was a new colleague, and everyone was always delighted to see him. May his memory be a blessing.
Ruby Wong January 22, 2026 05:45 PM
Since Moe moved to BC, I''ve missed his complaints and our golf games. I''m so glad we kept in touch. I will never forget the best advice he gave me during my JP training: never pass up an opportunity to use the restroom. Miss you, Moe. My deepest condolences.
Ron Rosen January 22, 2026 04:26 PM
My condolences to the Rotman family. I went to Zion and AY with Mike, played hockey with Gary. Later I became one of the first Court Agents in Ontario Traffic Courts and had the honor of appearing before Justice of the Peace Rotman. May your many memories comfort you at this time. He served our community honorably.
Jack Grossman January 22, 2026 04:16 PM
Dear Linda and the Rotman family I was saddened to learn of Moe’s passing. I recall, with fondness, the many times he left 301 Court and stopped by my office to shmooze and spend time talking about many things. He was a legend after decades of service to the Court system. May you all be blessed with treasured memories of a decent mensch. Retired Justice Jack Grossman
James Clare January 22, 2026 04:14 PM

Dear Linda and the Rotman family, our condolences to you all at this time. Linda, I have missed you since you left Toronto. I so enjoyed getting to know you when you and your inspiring daughter would visit Moe at North York Court, where Moe became very much an icon, who everyone knew and appreciated. We missed him when he left and he will continue to be missed. May the memories be a blessing and may your family and friends be a source of comfort. Sheila Ray and Lee Benson
Stephen Waisberg January 22, 2026 03:05 PM
Donna & I are saddened to learn of Moe’s passing. I always considered Moe my mentor on the Bench since I joined him at his base court in Toronto in the late 90s. He was and remained the “go-to” person for advice on anything pertaining to the court system. He made my work better. It was a privilege to work with Moe as my colleague for many years. Donna & I remember dinner at Linda and Moe’s home, they were gracious & welcoming hosts. Stephen Waisberg & Donna Campbell

Dear Linda and families: We were very sorry to hear of Moe’s passing . Although we haven’t seen you both since you moved away our thoughts have always been with you. May he rest in peace and may your memories help get you through this difficult time. Love cousins Shelley and David
Arthur Stern January 22, 2026 10:50 AM
Dear Rotman Family please accept my heartfelt condolences on the devastating loss of your beloved Moe. I’m a defence counsel who had the merit of appearing in his dignified yet at times hilarious court. He treated everyone regardless of ethnic background or societal status with fairness and decency. Like a good Umpire he called them as he saw them for both teams. May the Rotman family be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Joanne Rosenberg and Jerry McIntosh January 22, 2026 09:59 AM
Dear Linda, Roz and the extended Rotman family: we were very sorry to hear about Moe’s passing. We have fond memories of him officiating at our wedding 32 years ago. We hope that the love of family and friends will be a comfort to you at this sad time.
Renee and Shelly Bender January 22, 2026 09:36 AM
Dear family It is very hard to say goodbye. Our cousin Moe, either jamming on drums, presiding at the courts, or speaking privately about life, love and his wonderful point of view because he really heard you. Also the loving reactions of anyone who knew that he was our cousin. Your memory is a blessing.
Spencer & Elly Black January 22, 2026 08:34 AM
Our sincere condolences to Linda and the Rotman family. I played with Mo when we were very young and later when he became a traffic court judge I appeared before him many times once with my mother who was not very truthful on the stand. He found for her but after court told me not to bring her again. We laughed about it. He also officiated at one of my nieces wedding.
Allan and Debbie Rosenberg January 22, 2026 08:30 AM
Dear Linda, Roz and the Rotman family, we were saddened to hear that “Moe” had passed. We had the great pleasure of spending time with Moe on several of our cousins’ cruises and then at follow up visits with Linda, and Roz and Nelson at their lovely home in Brampton. Although we haven’t seen Moe and Linda since they moved to B.C., we remember them fondly and always enjoyed their company. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family, and hope that Moe’s memory will a blessing and comfort, now and in the future.

Sue Weisbart January 22, 2026 06:47 AM
Dearest Linda, Roz and families: it is so very difficult to say goodbye to such a good friend. I will reflect on all the wonderful memories from our cruising years together and all the great times we shared. My strongest memory of Moe is his collection of baseball hats, many of which he gave to Murray. And of course all his made up words! It is an honour and privilege to be friends with all of you but now the chain has lost a link. Linda, you were amazing in your care throughout the last few years and now those around you will be your strength. Rest in peace, my dear friend. Love you.
Birgit & Dave January 22, 2026 12:13 AM

Fran & George Kaplan January 21, 2026 10:09 PM
Dear Linda, Rosalind and families: George and I were so sorry to hear of Morrie’s passing. We were well aware of the difficult health challenges that he faced these last few years. As difficult as things were, he was so fortunate to have his beloved Linda by his side ensuring that he had the best care possible. For me personally, my sisters and I lived a block away from Morrie when we were younger and we spent a fair amount of time together - we adored our older cousin and he will be missed. Sending our heartfelt condolences during this sad and difficult time and hoping that your cherished memories of Moe will bring you comfort and peace.
Lezlie Phillips Carson January 21, 2026 09:42 PM
Dear Rosalind and family. I was so sorry to hear of Morrie’s passing. I have such fond memories of him when I was growing up. I know he was a favourite cousin of my mom, Fay Lusthaus and a close, much loved nephew of my Buby and Zaidy, Max and Bessie Rotman. Growing up, we thought he was a rock star! Sending you and your family my sincere condolences. May his memory be a blessing.
Terry and Melissa Fields January 21, 2026 08:17 PM

Dear Linda, I was so saddened to receive the news that you have lost your beloved Moe. Sending my deepest condolences to you, to Rochelle and Ayana, to Brian, Georgina, Nathaniel and Lilah, to Jay and to all of Moe’s family. He will be sorely missed. I know how difficult the last number of years have been, as Moe faced his many health challenges. He was so lucky to have you at his side throughout, as his dedicated caregiver and advocate and somehow he carried on through each new crisis. I’m sure you all have many wonderful memories to share—I know I do, one being the many Sedars we celebrated together. Hoping you will find comfort surrounded by the love of family and friends. Take care of yourself and I will see you on Friday. Sending love ❤️❤️❤️

Gilda & David Rovan January 21, 2026 05:27 PM
Dear Linda, Roz, Nelson, & Family: We are deeply saddened to hear about Morry''s passing. Your family was my father''s only remaining relatives after the war and the ones that brought my parents and sister to Canada from Poland in 1946. We were always a close family and I have wonderful memories of Passover Seders where our Dads use to race through the Hagaddah to get to watch the hockey playoffs. Our daughter Suzie remembers Cousin Morry and his Donald Duck impressions that made her laugh. Morry was a mensch; a wonderful son, husband, and father. He will be missed. His memory will always be a blessing.
