On the passing of Simion Zurka, CCNY Colleague

Dear Friends,

Last Friday, we announced the passing of Simion Zurka, who worked for years in our mail room.  Simion loved his work and treasured his place in our college community.  I know that, in particular, he was part of a closely knit team—co-workers and close, close friends--and the members of that team are shattered by his loss.  In 2021, in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to the maintenance of campus life during the pandemic, Simion was acknowledged as part of the President’s Covid19 Response S.T.A.R. Award. All of us who depended on his work and service owe him a debt of gratitude.

I would like to express my deep appreciation for Simion’s years of service, and for his good natured and enthusiastic embrace of his responsibilities. Our campus community will miss him dearly.

Funeral service for Simion will be on Monday March 14th (Tomorrow) at 10 AM at the Morton Funeral Home in Ridgewood New York.
