Samuel Althaus, passed away in
Newport News on Sunday, July 14, 2014 at the age of 89. A familiar figure to most of our

NEWPORT NEWS - Irving Althaus, longtime Peninsula resident and
businessman, died on July 14th at the age of 89.
Irving was born in Ciechanow, Poland, and emigrated to the United States in 1949. A proud survivor of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, Irving became an American citizen in 1954. He was manager of Althaus Delicatessen & Caterers in Newport News for 46 years, working with his cousin, the late Samuel Althaus, until their retirement in 1997. An avid reader of history and biography, Irving was a participant in Holocaust survivor history documentation projects. He loved gatherings of friends and family, good food, practical jokes, and TV news. Irving is survived by Etta Baker and the Baker family; cousins Marian and Harry Althaus, and Miriam Koernberg (Glendale, NY); and scores of longtime friends. |
