YIASKI WABER
Alfred Waber 89, Builder and family man. A
retired real estate builder who lived in Center
City, Phila., died peacefully on Friday, July
27, 2018, of natural causes. Mr. Waber grew
up in the Wynnefield section of West Phila.

and was a graduate of Overbrook High
School and the Wharton School of the
Univer-sity of Pennsylvania. In 1955, Mr.

Waber became interested in home building
and began building homes and apartments in
the Oak Lane and Northeast sections of Phila.

In 1977, he renovated a historic factory at
23rd and Arch Streets and converted the
property into a residential apartment building.

Mr. Waber continued to manage that build-
ing, the Westminster Arch Apartments, up
until a few years ago. But Mr. Waber's
greatest accomplishment was his love of his
family and friends, immedi-ate and extended.

Mr. Waber was the son of Russian and East-
ern European Jewish immigrants and was
raised as part of an extremely close-knit fam-
ily, all of whom lived within blocks of each
other in Wynne-field. Mr. Waber stayed very
close to that extended family throughout his
life and, to-gether with his beloved wife of 53
years, June Waber, passed that love and
commitment to family down to the next gen-
era-tion. "My father was an old-fashioned
gentleman. He was soft-spoken, a wonderful
listener, and deeply committed to his family
and close friends. His greatest joy in life was
his love for my mother, June, and his be-
loved family, particularly his two grand-
daughters, Lily Ann and Katie," said his
daughter, Lizabeth Raynes. Mr. Waber had an
amazing passion for the Phillies and was a
life-long Phillies fan. He either listened to the
radio or watched on television almost every
Phillies game for more than 80 years. He is
survived by his wife June (nee Langley)
Waber, daughter and son-in-law, Lizabeth
and Stephen Raynes, granddaughters Lily
Ann and Katie, sister, Judy Ackerman, 1 niece
and 4 nephews. In lieu of flowers, the family
suggests a donation to the charity of the con-
tributor's choice.
