His family relied on him for optim- ism, laughter, advice on every single aspect of life, fun times and even political banter. Al was a man of action, integrity, self-respect, humility and appreciation for others. He had a larger than life personality and his love of people, learning and life in general was in- spiring. Everyone who knew Al would de- scribe him as kind, humble, optimistic, de- termined, hilarious, and selfless, among many other positive attributes. In his free time, Al focused on spending time with his family and friends by sharing stories, attend- ing and/or watching Red Sox and Patriots games, playing a friendly round of golf, watching movies, consuming the news, tak- ing a walk, relaxing on the beach, or going to breakfast or lunch.

In 1988, he got a promo- tion at CIT Group and moved his family to Fort Washington, PA, where they have lived since then. With decades of experience in the commercial lending market, Al spent 35 years as a sales executive at CIT Group, where he earned numerous awards. Most re- cently, Al served as VP, National Sales at Vis- ion Financial Group where he informally served as the team’s mentor. For the past three years, he also proudly served as the Chief Financial Officer and strategic advisor of PURSUIT PR, his daughter Rachel’s com- pany, and they both cherished the precious opportunity to work together. Al had a real zest for life. He felt that “life is good”, “meant to be enjoyed” and that it was critical to “turn lemons into lemonade” and “stay positive”. His family is doing their best to live their fullest lives in his honor and to continue his meaningful legacy. Al is already missed so much by everyone who loves him.

Those of us who survive him remember his good- ness. We were very fortunate to have a fath- er who took on the financial and emotional responsibility of raising us. He taught us that our education was very important and made sure we learned the lessons to support our individual life choices. We and our children will get together and share stories. Life will continue, however, today is less joyful for all of us. We miss you Dad and thank you for being you. Love and hugs always…Wayne R. Spielman D.O.B. 3/11/1930.

ZURITZKY DEATH NOTICES ZURITSKY Renée Marlene Zuritsky, 76, died peacefully at home in Center City, surrounded by her family, on Monday, February 10, 2020. The cause was endometrial cancer. Born Renée Stern, the native Philadelphian spent her childhood in Germantown, the middle of three daughters to Maurice and Goldie Stern, who are deceased. Her sisters, Lydia Rubin of Jenkintown, and Hedy Frisch of Toronto, survive her. Renée graduated from Chelten- ham High School (’61), and earned a BA from the University of Pennsylvania (’68). While on a trip to Israel with her father in 1960, she befriended an American couple who would become her in-laws -- Herman and Lee Zurit- sky, parents of Joseph Zuritsky. The couple wed in 1963, and had three children: Robert (married to Caroline Zuritsky), Anna (mar- ried to Michael Boni) and Elisa (married to Jordan Barowitz). Their 56-year marriage welcomed nine grandchildren: Gabriel, Megan, and Ethan Boni; Haley, Harrison, Emma, and Hannah Zuritsky; and Phoebe and Declan Barowitz. Renée was known for her high cheekbones and understated beauty. She was an avid patron of Philadelphia art and cultural institutions: the Orchestra, the Walnut Street Theater, the Art Museum, the Jewish Film Festival. Whenever possible, she traveled to New York City to take in Broad- way shows, art exhibits, and some shopping. She was a lover of good food, particularly fresh fruit and decadent desserts. As a couple, Renée and Joe traveled extensively, and gave generously to countless organiza- tions and philanthropic causes. She kept friends from all chapters of her life, yet never stopped finding new ones to add. She was disarming, sincere, straightforward. Older people were especially appealing to Renee, but it’s also true that she attracted younger friends, who looked to her as a mentor. Renée was passionate about justice and equality. Above all else, Renée treasured and nurtured her family. She will be missed im- measurably. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in her name be made to the Jewish Family and Children’s Service, Na- tional Museum of American Jewish History, or Mural Arts Philadelphia. Services were held at Har Zion Temple in Penn Valley, PA, Interment at West Laurel Hill Cemetery. Ar- rangements by West Laurel Hill Funeral Home, Inc.
