Milton Shaffer
History / Biographical
Milton Shaffer was born October 8, 1916 in Ottawa, Ontario. He was the son of American-born Abraham Shaffer and Mary Baslaw (original family name was Boguslawsky), who was born in Poltava, Ukraine and immigrated to New York around 1890. He had two brothers, Irving and Harold, who were born in New York, and an older sister, Beatrice and a younger brother, Sheldon, both of whom were born in Ottawa. The Shaffers moved to Ottawa around 1911; Abraham’s parents, Samuel and Mary, nee Katz, were already established there. Abraham and Mary established The Ottawa Bargain Store at 147 Rideau. The family lived above the store until they moved into a home on Marlborough Avenue in Sandy Hill. They continued to operate Shaffer’s Ltd. at the Rideau Street location until 1966. Milton attended York Street School and Lisgar Collegiate Institute. He was active in the Boy Scouts movement and Camp B’nai Brith, and co-founded a chapter of AZA. He and Sarah Fine, younger daughter of Leon and Rachel Feller Fine, had been ‘sweethearts’ since childhood. They married on September 11, 1938 in Montreal. They had three daughters: Ingrid Shaffer Robinson Shapiro (born 1941); Marilyn Shaffer Kimmel (born 1943); Wendy Shaffer Green (born 1945). Milton joined the family business upon graduation from Lisgar and continued there until the business closed some 30 years later. During the Second World War, he volunteered with the Civil Defense Corp and was involved in efforts to control wartime profiteering. Milton was an enthusiastic person willing to share his ideas with anyone who would listen. He was active in the Ottawa Jewish Historical Society, the Lisgar Collegiate Alumni Association, and the Britannia Yacht Club, where he and Sarah sailed and had an active social life. Sarah died in Ottawa in 2012; Milton died in 2015, three months short of his 99th birthday. They were survived by their daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 13 great grandchildren.
