May 15 Jacob Futoryansky - dear member of the Jewish community of Taraz would be 83 years old. Ten days he has not lived up to Victory Day. But the light memories of him will for a long time is kept in our hearts, we for ever shall remember him as sociable, kind man with a constant smile. Sixty years the hand in hand went with him along life the remarkable spouse Ada.

By the will of destiny from the different ends of the Soviet Union they have got in Kazakhstan. Jacob was evacuated with the mum from Kiev, and Ada with the parents travelled along the country (the father served in Criminal Investigation Department), has not got yet in Dzhambyl. They got acquainted here. They got acquainted in the most perfect season, when blossomed lilac - spring of 1942, and they were just eighteen years old. Then Jacob has left in Frunze city and entered there in infantry school. But, having studied in a school just half-year, he is sent with coevals on Southwest front. Served in infantry, which with love was named "as empress of fields" by all other combat arms. In 1943, having been wounded in a leg, Jacob gets in hospital in Kirovobad. And the all this time does not stop correspondence of two young loving hearts.

On returning in Dzhambyl in June, 1946 Ada and Jacob got married, and the family life began. They lived poorly, on a private apartment. In 1947 at them was born the first-born - son. After the first year of joint life they began construction of the habitation.

Difficulties, the poverty did not influence in any way the relations of the young parents among themselves. Love, kindness, readiness to share with last, attracted people to them. … The years have passed, have constructed house and they already have three sons. On all corners of globe the destiny has scattered their children: younger in Germany (already has family), eldest in Tatarstan, and middle lives nearby here, only grandsons are in Israel. And on 80th anniversary all children were gathering.

The younger son invited all time to himself in Germany the parents not only to be on visit, but also for constant life, i.e. To remain there to live. But in any way old men did not want to leave native walls - very much with them all life is connected -: here and severities, and deprivation, and pleasure. Even the floors, creaking because of time, till now remember, how fervently danced on them Ada. Yes it is a pity that the time spares nobody - everything remained in the past. Already hardly moves our dancer and that with the help of a stick, and recently (after fall) it is necessary to use already wheelchair.

But never desponded and of anything our dear and favourite pair did not complain. By the same kind smile they met everyone, who came to them in the house. They shared with memoirs, showed photos.

And has left life Jacob, having left about himself kind memory at native, friends and all those who knew him. Light memory to him! And you, Ada, we wish kind health and fortress of spirit. Let kind and light memoirs of the last years, lived in perfect harmony with Jacob do not leave you.
