Eick ERNEST EICK, died peacefully on Dec. 8, 2016, at home in Walnut Creek, Calif., surround- ed by his loving family. He was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1937. His mother and father had the foresight to escape in 1939 while the rest of the family perished in the camps. They sought refuge in the only place that was open to Jews fleeing Germany at the time, the port of Shanghai, China. Ernest and the family spent near- ly a decade in a Japanese-controlled ghetto in Shanghai, struggling to stay fed while watching as bombs dropped from both Japanese and Allied forces. The family immigrated to America in 1948, settling in Detroit. Ernie worked as a salesman for J. Levin Sons, a dry-cleaning supplies company, for more than 50 years. As a people person, he thrived in his interactions and friendships with all his customers. He loved classical music, cinema and being part of the community at the Birmingham Temple. Mr. Eick is survived by his wife, Rochelle; children, Michelle (Keith) Tandowsky, Stephanie (Dori) Eick, Suzanne (Lonny) Schwartz, Amy Gotliffe, Josh Eick and Gordon Eick; six grandchildren, all of whom live in California.
