Rosen, of Audubon, PA left this leg of his journey on August 5, 2021. He was the son of Henry and Edith (Susskind) Rosen. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 57 years, Pearl (Pood) Rosen. He leaves behind to celebrate his large life: his daughter, Susan, and son Daniel; his grandchildren Gwen, Joshua (Maegan), and Zachary (Amy); his sisters Carol Ostrow and Janet Chertkoff; many nieces and nephews; and a wonderful network of friends. "Jimmy" was a devoted family man and a huge lover of life. As an Eagle Scout he developed a respect for being outdoors which he passed onto his family during many camping trips to national parks throughout the country. He enlisted in the United States Navy, proudly served on the U.S.S. Intrepid, and frequently regaled his family and friends with stories of his time in the military. He was an avid reader and was always enjoying several books at a time. Dad started a poetry club at his retirement com- munity (Shannondell), and its members thrilled him as much as the poetry. Dad was a big part of the Shannondell Readers Theatre and he was always a great performer – on stage and off! He was an active member of Keneseth Israel and relished learning Torah which prompted him to write a weekly D'Var for his fellow congregants and the many fol- lowers he gathered over the years. Dad took tremendous pride in this endeavor. Dad hopelessly cheered on the Phillies. He also loved the game of golf and continued golfing for as long as he was able. Dad was a very proud graduate of Central High School and Temple University, and he remained active in both schools throughout his life. For many years he met monthly with his Central bud- dies for lunch and laughter. Dad was the co- founder of Technical Advisory Service for At- torneys (TASA) and steered the company for over 65 years. He was extremely hard-work- ing, very loyal, and ever-present to his busi- ness. In their retirement, our parents en- joyed wintering in Jekyll Island, GA and they had many happy times together. After Mom passed away, Dad became more involved in Temple Beth Tefilah Synagogue in Brunswick, GA and again he developed many new friend- ships. Dad was a huge lover of life, always learning and always teaching. We have all been privileged to learn from him and to ex- perience so many lessons and opportunities because of him. A huge piece of us is gone. And we will continue to honor him and make him proud by living and loving well. He con- stantly taught us to treasure life and hold close the ones you love. If you are so moved, take pause and raise a glass of fine scotch, a yummy milkshake, a delicious root beer float, or suck with glee on a Werther’s hard candy! The burial will be private, and we will further celebrate his legacy at a later date. Contribu- tions in his memory may be made to a char- ity that speaks to your heart. So be it.

GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S RAPHAEL-SACKS www.goldsteinsfuneral.com www.JewishExponent.com JEWISH EXPONENT DEATH NOTICES SHERMAN Tobi Shirley Sherman, 80, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to many, a long-time resident of Manheim Township, died peacefully surrounded by her loving family in Boca Raton, FL on July 23, 2021. She fought valiantly for more than two years before succumbing to complications following a battle against cancer. Born in the Bronx, NY to the late Abraham and Sylvia (Feldman) Folbaum, Tobi grew up in the Ox- ford Circle neighborhood of Northeast Phil- adelphia, graduating from Northeast High School in 1959. Tobi was a lifelong lover of many genres of music and was a gifted sing- er during her younger years. While attending a Tamiment Lodge reunion dance in Phil- adelphia with a group of friends, she accep- ted a dance request from a nice-looking young guy named Bob who said he had traveled from Lancaster with a friend to at- tend the event. A whirlwind romance ensued, and Tobi and Bob wed on November 19, 1960, whereupon they established a loving home in Lancaster where Bob’s family and business roots ran deep and where his par- ents, the late Samuel and Kitty Sherman lov- ingly embraced their new daughter-in-law. Tobi and Bob were members of Temple Beth El and Congregation Shaarai Shomayim in Lancaster. Tobi was an incredible life partner, domestic engineer, and athlete. She enjoyed all of the cardio classes offered at the many gyms to which she belonged. She played golf and tennis, including many years as Bob’s late-night doubles partner at Old Hickory Racquet Club, and was a long-standing parti- cipant in ladies' bowling leagues in Lan- caster. Tobi was a devoted and competitive mahjong and canasta player forging lifelong friendships with her many game-table mates. She was a devoted and loving mother and homemaker with a passion for experiment- ing with creative recipes and practicing healthy eating. Her 1970’s religious school carpool runs were legendary in pushing the boundaries of physics (and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) by seeing how many kids could squeeze into her Pon- tiac Firebird. Tobi cherished family rituals such as visits to her parents’ home on Souder Street in Philly, trips down the shore to Atlantic City and to New York City for shopping and eating, summers spent at the Host Town pool and Sunday Zangari’s pizza nights with the Moss family. She and Bob shared a passion for collecting modern art filling their homes with impeccable acquisi- tions from galleries and artists. Music was a constant in her life – the radio was always turned on in the house and in her car, and she and Bob (sometimes with the kids in tow) frequented live performances of their fa- vorites – Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, Simon and Garfunkel, Tom Jones and so many others. Bob and Tobi also loved over- seas travel, crisscrossing the globe several times, aided by rental cars, road maps and travel guidebooks. Each January Tobi and Bob attended the National Association of Homebuilders International Builders’ Show concluded with a week of rest and relaxation in Miami Beach. Eventually they purchased a beachfront condominium an hour north in Highland Beach. They later moved into a single-family home in nearby Boca Raton where they established a winter residence at St. Andrews Country Club, making many new and dear friends and welcoming frequent vis- its by their children and grandchildren. Hav- ing devoted her entire life to her family, Tobi will be lovingly remembered and missed by Bob, her beloved husband of 60 years, son Stephen and his wife Susan of Bethesda, MD, son Michael and his wife Jill of Lancaster, daughter Judi and her husband Marc Levine of Woodbury, NY, her 8 grandchildren, Ryan and Rebecca Sherman, Samantha, Brett and Alex Sherman, Chloe, Dylan and Jack Levine, her brother and sister-in-law Bruce and Ilene Folbaum, nephews and niece and many dear friends.
