Pablo Siegal
September 27, 1937 - September 5, 2016
Our beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend Pablo Siegal passed away on September 5, 2016 at the age of 78. Born September 27, 1937 in Mexico City, he moved to San Antonio with his young family in 1969. He had a degree in Civil Engineering and was President of National Lumber Co. and a respected real estate broker.
Active in the San Antonio Jewish community, he was a co-founder of the first Jewish Day School in the city and a staunch supporter of the State of Israel. He enjoyed music, travel and bridge.
His family was the center of his life. He leaves behind his grieving wife of 55 years, Eleanor Epstein Siegal, a native of San Antonio, as well as his proudest legacy, his children Arieh and Jennifer Siegal, Yakir and Wendy Siegal, Yosef Yehuda and Melanie Siegal, and his grandchildren Olivia, Elie, Annie, Jessica, Shira and Noah.
Other survivors are Pablo's brother and wife, Oscar and Rosalinda Siegal, and Eleanor's brothers and wives, Dr. William and Sylvia Epstein and David and Ellen Epstein, along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and loyal friends.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr. David Friedman and Dr. Hoan Pho for their outstanding and compassionate care during Pablo's final illness.
Funeral services were held on September 6, 2016 at Porter Loring Chapel with burial at Agudas Achim Memorial Gardens. Pallbearers were Pablo's nephews. Honorary pallbearers were Dr. Sheldon Braverman, Martin Epner, Alex Scharlack, Howard Solomon and William Yahiel.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Congregation Rodfei Sholom, Hadassah or any Holocaust Memorial Museum of your choice.
