DR. IRVING L. KANIN
AGE 96 YEARS
Dr. Irving L. Kanin. Inventor, Veterinarian, Progessive Activist, of Newton and West Palm Beach and formerly of Brookline, Boston, and Norwood, died June 21, 2017 after a brief illness.
Dr. Kanin lived an extraordinary life as a veterinarian, an inventor of household products and an activist in progressive causes. At his death he was surrounded by his loving children and their spouses. He was predeceased by his beloved wife and soulmate of over 71 years, Doris.
He is survived by his son Dennis Kanin and his wife Carol of Newton, son Erik Kanin and his wife Karen of Portsmouth, NH and daughter Lisa Hochheiser and her husband Joseph of Chevy Chase, Md and 6 grandchildren and one great granddaughter.
He was the son of Louis and Ida, brother of Beverly Brosterman and her husband Stanley, and the late Beatrice Small and her husband Leonard.
Irving graduated from St. John's University and Middlesex Veterinary School in Waltham, MA in 1944, the same year he married Doris. Over his lifetime he practiced veterinary medicine in Virginia, Maryland -- where he treated lions, tigers and giraffes at Largo Wildlife Preserve-- and in Hingham and Needham, MA.
Sixty-five years ago he founded Lynwood Laboratories, a household products business that continues to this day and where he continued to serve as its President right up to his death. Among the more than 30 products that he invented and developed, in collaboration with his wife Doris, were Spray-n-Starch, Screen & Surface, Shoo-Fly Hornet Spray, and Sport Mosquito & Tick Repellent. Lynwood Laboratories' Spray-n-Starch was the first aerosol product of its kind in the US.
Along with his wife Doris, he was active on behalf of civil rights, economic and social justice and ending the Vietnam war.
His legacy will live on through his children and grandchildren. He will always be remembered by them for his kindness, enthusiasm and unwavering optimism.
Services will be held at the Wilson Chapel, 234 Herrick Rd., Newton Centre. Interment at Or Emet Cemetery, 776 Baker Street, West Roxbury.
