GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS NATHANSON Bennett Nathanson died on January 18, 2018 at the age of 92 at Lankenau Medical Center, where he was a dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer for 22 years. Ben was a loving hus- band to Ruth Leventhal Nathanson for 23 years, and the dearest father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Ben enlisted in the army at the age of 17, and following the war, graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. In 1952 Ben mar- ried Joy Maker, an educator and loving moth- er of their two children, Wendy and Gilbert, which led to four grandchildren and one great grandchild. Working in the chemical in- dustry, Ben established a reputation as a champion of creativity and innovation, and at Celanese, he led the research team with mot- tos such "I am the I in innovation" and "Pro- pose, Don't Suppose”. Upon his retirement, Celanese established the “Ben Nathanson In- novation Award" given yearly to an aspiring innovator. Ben also worked at United Mer- chants, Monsanto, and Allied Chemical and was awarded a patent for developing a high temperature plastic for circuit boards. After Joy's untimely passing, Ben again found a soulmate in Ruth Leventhal, whom he mar- ried in 1994 and with whom he spent many treasured years, traveling, growing, and learning, all the while enjoying their home in Florida, their apartment in Bala Cynwyd, and summer home in Lenox, MA. Ben was a huge hearted man, who welcomed Ruth's family into his life - daughters Sue and Mar- gie, son Ira and their nine children and eight grandchildren. Ben was also a generous con- tributor to many humanitarian causes and a dedicated follower of his Jewish faith, which helped fill his life. Ben was known for his un- bridled optimism, kindness, a sweet disposi- tion, his humor and easy laughter, and his generosity to family and numerous political organizations in which he believed. Active and curious throughout his life, Ben never tired of reading history books and writing let- ters to authors, senators and presidents. Ben also pursued his love of drawing, continuing art lessons up until last month. He loved to be engaged and make his life count each and every day. The family remembers Ben for his enormous generosity and good humor and unbounded kindness, not just to his family but to everyone he would meet. It was his gift to bring joyful moments to all who knew him at every occasion. Ben exemplified the spirit of giving, loving, and learning taught in the Talmud, which he studied faithfully. While friends and family will miss Ben, his life and the way he lived it will be an example to all who knew him.

Gerry was born in Philadelphia in 1933. She would have been 85 this April 8th. Until she was a teenager she lived with her 2 younger sisters, Mona Brassloff and Kay Kar- mon, above her father’s pharmacy. She was a second mother to Kay and Mona, as her par- ents worked 6 days a week in the store be- low. As a teenager, Gerry lived near her cous- ins and extended family when they moved from the house above the pharmacy. She learned Yiddish, so she could converse with her grandparents who came to Philadelphia from Russia, because she wanted a relation- ship with them. Gerry met her husband Steve Rudman at Temple University. She gradu- ated with her Bachelors degree the same day Steve got his law degree. Gerry studied edu- cation and loved teaching. They married in 1956 and had Dana (Keller) in 1961 and Ey- dieRudman in 1963. Gerry was always a “community volunteer”. After retiring from teaching, she assumed many roles in her synagogue Adath Jeshurun (AJ). At 76, she started a catering business at AJ with other members. It was very well received and the congregants love it. Gerry was also a docent at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. Gerry had many pas- sions in her life. Adath Jeshurun Synagogue was one of them, but her number one pas- sion was her family. During these last few months, after suffering a stroke on Septem- ber 12th, Gerry showed her daughters and her 4 beautiful granddaughters (Emily and Sophie Levin, Lilly and Sasha Keller) how to be strong, no matter what lies in the path ahead. This is a life lesson that they will carry with them always. Gerry was and always will be her daughters and granddaughters’ biggest role model. She was force in their lives. Gerry passed away on February 5th after complications from a stroke. Her hus- band Stephen D. Rudman predeceased her. Gerry is survived by her daughters Dana Keller (Jonathan) and Eydie Rudman (Howard Levin) and 4 granddaughters, Lilly and Sasha Keller and Emily and Sophie Levin.
