Beloved husband, Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather and friend to many, died Friday evening at the age of 80 after battling numerous health issues. During his working years, GIL was a gifted salesman possessing the ability to connect with not only with buyers but with people of all ages and backgrounds. GIL was especially popular with children and throughout his lifetime he proudly proclaimed to be a 12 year old trapped inside an aging body. GIL had a wonderful singing voice and it would take little prompting to make him burst out in song to the delight of those within range. GIL would endure many difficulties throughout his days but his story was one of strength, courage and ultimately triumph over the challenges his faced. Evidence of this could be seen and felt in his presence and was further evidenced by all the smiles and laughter he brought with him wherever he went. He had an irrepressible spirit of joy, lightheartedness and good humor. It just felt good being around him. GIL will be missed by the multitudes of family and friends he collected over the years and his legacy of good is best expressed with the following quote from one of his favorite movies, The Wizard of Oz in the scene where the Wizard gives the Tin Man council. He said, "Remember Tin Man, a heart is not judged by how much you love... but by how much you are loved by others". He leaves behind his beloved wife BARBARA and devoted son DAVID and daughter in law RHEA, stepson and daughter in law, JEFF and HEATHER, his stepdaughter and husband, DAVID and HEATHER, son-in-law and daughter-in-law LEIB and HOLLY and grandchildren ARIELLE, LEAH, EMUNAH AND ZALMAN, SAGE, MOISHE, DANIEL, JOSH, MICHAEL, TALIA; and great-grandson LEVI, He is preceded by his beloved wife LENORE and daughter TOBIE.

IRVING LUDWIG was a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra for 39 years. His tenure was interrupted by the Korean war, when he served as concertmaster of the US Navy Band in Washington, D.C., and met his future wife, MARTHA. During his tenure with the Philadelphia Orchestra, he taught privately and at the Settlement Music School.

He was the founding conductor of the New Y Chamber Players, a chamber orchestra consisting of fellow colleagues, Curtis Institute and area music students, and amateurs. In 1991, he was appointed music director of the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra. LUDWIG noted; вЂњThis orchestra is like a family. WeвЂ™re glued together because of the music. ItвЂ™s the combination of the music and the friendships that makes us such a special group.вЂќ His passion, drive and personal connection with the LSO members instilled a unique corps dвЂ™esprit within one of most respected orchestras in the Philadelphia area. Music, family and friends were inextricable elements throughout his life. He taught both of his sons who are now accomplished musicians. MICHAEL is a virtuoso violinist following in his fatherвЂ™s footsteps, as an international soloist and concertmaster of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. MARK is a violist in the Boston Symphony and a Holocaust music scholar. An avid chess player, on the historic 1973 Philadelphia Orchestra tour to China, IRVING twice beat the noted music critic and chess writer Harold Schonberg.
