Obituary of Deacon Myron Moskowitz

Deacon Myron Moskowitz, 73, of Newtown, passed away on January 6, 2023, The Feast of the Epiphany. Born in The Bronx, NY, he has been a Newtown resident for the past 9 years, having relocated from Yardley. Myron was a retired Archdiocesan high school teacher. He taught Theology, and Physical Education. One of the things he loved most was mentoring students with troubled backgrounds. He had received his BA from Lehman College in NYC, and studied for the Diaconate at the St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. Prior to teaching, he was a real estate property manager in NYC. Myron was a convert from Judaism who loved Jesus with his whole heart. He was ordained to the Diaconate in 2011. He loved serving on the altar and helping people to connect with their faith. Myron, along with his wife Mary, was a co-coordinator of RCIA at St. Ignatius Church in Yardley. He was an avid fan of the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Twins. Myron was a man of great humor and could tell jokes for hours. People loved his straight forward attitude and his "what you see is what you get" style. He led with his heart. Son of the late Irving and Marcine (Pascoe) Moskowitz, he is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Mary (Dobriansky) Moskowitz of Newtown, his children Russell Moskowitz and his wife Michele of Bergenfield, NJ, and Jessica Rodas and her husband Fernando of NYC, six grandchildren, a brother Ira Moskowitz of NYC, many friends and cousins, and his buddy, Simon the cat.
