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. He was passionate about the
space program and its potential to preserve
humanity. His children often spoke of his en-
cyclopedic knowledge. His love of opera,
music, nature and learning were with him un-
til the final weeks of his life. He loved Israel
and his faith and was a lifelong student of
Judaism and Torah. After his retirement, act-
ivism became his career. Alan was dedic-
ated in his fight against injustice. When Alan
was diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s, he
began in-depth research on ways to alleviate
its effects in the hopes of helping all who suf-
fer from this illness. Alan never tired of
sharing his knowledge with others. He had a
unique sense of humor and wit and was a
great punster. Alan is survived by his wife of
61 years, Shirley Felderstein Kohn, children,
Michelle Kohn, Jay Kohn and Donna Kohn-
Snow, son-in-law Leslie R. Berghash, M.D.,
Michael S. Rubinoff, partner of Donna, and
grandchildren Ilana Berghash, Edin Kohn and
Golan Kohn. Alan will be sorely missed. Me-
morial donations in memory of Alan can be
made to the Jewish National Fund, online at
www.if.org, or by mail to: Jewish National
Fund, 78 Randall Avenue, Rockville Centre,
NY 11570; or to Temple Beit HaYam at 951

Susan Ellen Krassen (nee Rosenberg) of
Huntingdon Valley, PA died peacefully on

(Susan) and Paul Ross (Nicolle). Former wife
of Richard G. Krassen. Grandmother of
Sydney, Blair, Miles and Eli Krassen. Susan is
also survived by her dear friends Dorothy
Bauer of Southampton, PA and Anne Bloe-
men of Perth, Australia. Susan was prede-
ceased by her parents Adolph and Pauline
Rosenberg of Hollywood, FL. Susan was an
accomplished pianist, vocalist and music
teacher. She inspired the love of music in her
children, grandchildren and countless stu-
dents. Services are private.
