Elliot Sanford Grossman's Obituary
Elliot Sanford Grossman, 75, died on February 4, 2020 surrounded by his loving family, after a long battle with medical issues. He was born in Buffalo, NY to Leo and Edith (Horowitz) Grossman on September 28, 1944.
He was active with the South Florida Council of the Boy Scouts of America serving as a Scout Master and Member of the South Florida Council Board of Directors.

Elliot enjoyed fishing, boating, music and computers. He liked spending time in the Everglades City area, where he was always on the lookout for a big snook.
Most important to him was his family and his loving wife Anita. He was beloved by nine grandchildren, ranging in age from teenagers to toddlers. In addition to Anita and the grandchildren, he is survived by children Rabbi Benjamin (Michal) Grossman, Ethan (Leah) Grossman, and Emily Grossman (Adam Aronson); brother Gary Grossman, niece Phylise (Richard) Sands, grandnieces and nephew, Maxine & Esther Devitt, Ginger, Lily and Ryan Sands. We will miss Elliot’s kindness, integrity, patience and humor.
