LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jack Yufe was separated from his identical twin, Oskar Stohr, just six months after their birth.
He would not see him again for more than two decades.
When they were reunited in their 20s, the pair quickly discovered they spoke different languages but dressed alike, walked alike and even enjoyed playing the same practical jokes on people.
Yufe, who outlived his brother by 18 years, died Monday at a San Diego hospital at age 82.
His son Kenneth says the cause was cancer.
The retired businessman had been raised as a Jew in Trinidad while his brother grew up in Nazi Germany.
Despite those divergent upbringings, psychologists at the University of Minnesota, who studied separated twins, were astounded by their similarities.
Yufe said he and his brother were, too.
