Dr. Moses Mayov died January 19, 1944 at age 35 in Montreal, Canada.  He was born April 3, 1908 in Quebec, Canada.  He was the son of Israel and Shifra Mayov; husband of Anne Routenberg; Brother of Charles Berman (Ben) Mayov; Father of Joyce Mayov Singer.  He lived at 403 St. Joseph Boulevard West, Apartment 2.

Dr. Mayoff was a well-known figure in local medical circles.  He was educated at Baron Byng High School and at McGill University, graduating from McGill’s faculty of medicine in 1935.  He interned at Saint John, N.B., and later at Kingston, N.Y., opening his own practice in Montreal in 1938.

Associated for some years with the Jewish General Hospital and the Woman’s General Hospital, Dr. Mayoff took a special interest in the welfare of children.  His interest in the younger generations developed a close link for him with the Children’s Memorial Hospital.

Dr. Mayoff was also known locally as a lecturer on such subjects as social hygiene and children’s health problems.  He was interested in music and was at one time a member of the Y.M.H.A. orchestra.

Rifle practice and photography were among his hobbies.
