KRASSEN DEATH NOTICES KOHN Alan M. Kohn, a devoted husband, father, grandfather and NASA engineer for 30 years, died peacefully on Friday, December 22nd at sunset. He was surrounded by his loving family. Alan Kohn was born in Philadelphia, PA in the tumultuous year of 1929 on December 28th to the late Betty Giltman and R. Reuben Kohn. He graduated from Penn State University in 1951, where he ran cross country for the then national championship team. Alan then served in the U.S. Navy as a Lieutenant and Communications Officer for the 6th Fleet during the Korean War and served two additional years in the Reserves. He later went on to receive a Master of Sci- ence degree from Florida Institute of Techno- logy. In the words of Rabbi Kendall, “Alan was a brilliant man with biocular vision; one eye trained on this temporal world and one eye focused beyond the stars.” From a young age, he had a fascination with science fiction and the future exploration of space. So, it was a dream come true when in 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced his in- tent to “put a man on the moon”. That was the catalyst for his decision to move to Brevard County, home of the Kennedy Space Center, in 1962 with his wife and family. Alan had a highly successful and fulfilling career at NASA specializing in ground support, base security and payload management. He wit- nessed the exploration of the boundaries of earth to the far reaches of space. While there, he received numerous awards for his excep- tional work.

A leading force in the commercial door and hardware industry, he was Founder, President and CEO of Sporkin Associates, a prominent manufacturers’ rep firm of major brands, and author of numerous federal and state door standards and codes that im- proved public safety. He completed the rig- orous testing to achieve Certified Door Con- sultant (CDC) status. After selling his com- pany, he didn’t retire; instead, he became the nation’s foremost expert witness on door and hardware lawsuits including product defects, forensics and disability issues, working until last year with attorneys nationally on more than 500 cases. In his later years, he also became a licensed Realtor and enjoyed work- ing with the team at Herbert Yentis and Co. Earlier in his career, he was active in building and construction with his father, with a port- folio of residential properties in Philadelphia, Margate and Ventnor Heights and the Brookhaven Shopping Center in Chester. His commitment to doing good reached beyond his professional life. Merrill was a founding member of Lower Merion Community Watch. During the 1970s gas rationing, he dis- covered that service stations were refusing drivers with out-of-state tags, including his daughter in college and himself. Building a coalition of stakeholders and securing local media coverage, he lobbied state officials and changed policy. Merrill had a bigger-than-life presence - whether performing in musical theatre, uncovering the “aha” element to solve complex forensic cases, charming healthcare aides, driving fearlessly through the worst weather conditions, jumping into the newest technology or simply being with family. While his voice might be silenced, he’ll be remembered and loved forever. Ser- vices were private. Contributions in his memory can be made to American Friends of Magen David Adom.

GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S RAPHAEL-SACKS TECOSKY Evelyn Tecosky, a self-taught paper conser- vator who volunteered at many Philadelphia museums, died peacefully on Dec 24, 2017 surrounded by family. She was 92. A lifelong Philadelphia resident, she was born June 29, 1925 and grew up in the Logan neighbor- hood with her two sisters and parents Harry and Sarah Marmorstein. Evelyn loved jazz and classical music, "consumed" books of all kinds, and was active politically in the Wo- men Strike for Peace organization in the 1960s. As a mother, she instilled staunch in- dependence in her children as well as her love of reading (and crosswords). She was an intrepid traveler, especially by train, both alone and with family, seeking out art and theater. She didn't like things too fancy, and didn't mind roughing it, participating in two archaeological digs. Evelyn was a champion of Center City Philadelphia, especially the Rittenhouse Square area, where she took her grandchildren to play on the goat statue. She was an avid walker into her 80s, and shared her passion for urban architecture with every- one who would listen. In her 60s, Evelyn began volunteering for the Library Company of Philadelphia, where she acquired skills in paper conservation. She had a fascination for old documents and photographs, and loved handling and preserving them. She took these skills with her to the library at the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Franklin In- stitute and the Atwater Kent museum. Evelyn was a life-long philanthropist, donating to cultural, educational, charitable and pro- gressive causes. She was equally generous with her family. Evelyn was widowed in 1968 when her husband, Larry Tecosky, died sud- denly. She is survived by her children Bill, Joan, Amy, and Jeff; her daughters-in-law Trish and Amy; her sisters Lynore and Bar- bara; her grandchildren Ramona, Olivia, Leo, Isaac, Eleanor and Jacob; and her great- grandchildren Enzo, Akira, Penelope and Juli- en.

GOLDSTEINS’ ROSENBERG’S RAPHAEL-SACKS A Community Remembers Monthly archives of Jewish Exponent Death Notices are available online. www.JewishExponent.com ZUKIN Stanford Roland “Stan” Zukin, 77, of West Chester, PA, died peacefully at home on January 15, 2018, with his family and dearest friends surrounding and embracing him. Born in Philadelphia, PA, on August 27, 1940, to parents Solomon and Rose (née Garland), Stan grew up in a loving family with his devoted older sister, Marcia, and identic- al twin brother, Ronald. From the time they were born and well into their adulthood, Stan and Ronald shared a communication that was almost telepathic and a love for mischief that was always undone by their wry but conta- gious full-face smiles. When he was thirteen, Stan met the love of his life, his guiding light, Elsa (née Rothstein). Stan spied Elsa at the corner candy store in Philadelphia’s Logan neighborhood and he was hooked. Following their courtship through their teens at Olney High School, Stan and Elsa married in 1961. Their connection somehow was deeper than a marriage. They were bonded, cemented, af- fixed and attached to one another. Stan and Elsa were each other’s brace, buoy and biggest fan. A graduate of Temple University’s School of Pharmacy in 1962, Stan along with his brother, Ronald, also a graduate of Temple, bought Thatcher’s Phar- macy on Market Street in West Chester in 1966. Stan always said that his customers were like his extended family. Later, the phar- macy was moved to its expanded location at Gay and Walnut Streets. At age 55, Stan re- tired from practicing pharmacy and expan- ded his already-successful real estate hold- ings in West Chester and surrounding com- munities. At around the same, Stan’s son, Wayne, a recovering lawyer, began his own real estate development business in Phil- adelphia with his dad as his lead investor. Stan’s other son, Scott, left his cabinetmak- ing profession to help Stan grow Zukin Re- alty and transform West Chester into the thriving community that it is today. Daughter Lori embraced her father’s entrepreneurial spirit and created Zukin Leadership specializ- ing in executive coaching and leadership con- sulting. Stan’s three children look forward to working together to continue what their fath- er began. Just a few weeks ago, Stan looked out across the sea of broad smiles on the faces of his three beloved children — Wayne (Sue Smith); Scott (Jeanenne Browning); and Lori (Michael Rotker) and seven adored grandchildren (Max, Isaac, Lily, Evan, Adam, Rose and Mark), swung his head from side to side in contentment and awe, took Elsa’s hand and said “Look at us, Bubby. We’re just two pishers from Logan. Look at what we made.” Right up until the end, when Stan and Elsa walked down a street or a corridor or just about anywhere, they always held hands.
