Jordan was a life-long Brooklyn Dodgers fan. He never forgave them for leaving Brooklyn. He loved classical music and knew all composers from Baroque to Modern.
During his professional career Jordan was a Systems Analyst for the Syracuse City School District. He was a true pioneer from the early days of the computer age. Always proud of his work with Betty Caldwell on the Children Centre, an early model of the Head Start program.
He and his beloved wife Sheva moved to Syracuse in 1960. Together they enjoyed travelling to visit family in New Hampshire, Philadelphia, Australia, and China, and was very loving and attentive to all of his 7 grandchildren. A constant in the Jewish community, he was a member of Temple Beth El and later Temple Adath Yeshurun. He had a large circle of friends and in later years thoroughly enjoyed luncheons and activities at the JCC.
His beloved wife Sheva passed away in February of 2016.
He is survived by his son Marc (Jennifer Finn-Tannenbaum) and their children Rachel & Evan; son Daniel (Annie Mundie) and their children Isabel, Jacob (Eleora Tai) and great granddaughter Naomi; and daughter Esther Bostic, and her children Jesse, Erin and Alex; as well as his brother-in-law Paul (Dawn) Horowitz.
Funeral services will be at 11AM on Sunday, July 21 at Sisskind Funeral Chapel. Friends may visit with the family immediately prior to the service on Sunday from 10-11AM at the funeral chapel, 3175 E. Genesee Street. Burial will be in Adath Yeshurun Cemetery. The service will be live streamed on the Sisskind Funeral Service FaceBook page beginning at 11AM on Sunday the 21st.
Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to The Senior Meal Program at the Jewish Community Center, The Foundation of Menorah Park, or The Yiddish Book Center of Amherst (yiddishbookcenter.org).
