MELTZER MAYER
Richard A. Mayer has died after a valiant
three year fight against colon cancer. He

more potent formula. At that time he was put
into the Snowline hospice care program.

Richard is tremendously grateful to the
Snowline staff for their great care and gave
him relief in his time of need. Richard served

and then founded his own consulting busi-
ness as owner and C.E.O of RAM Marketing,

or of Protocol at the 1984 Summer Olympics
in Los Angeles. Richard was a VVIP (very,
very important person) ambassador escort-
ing and providing services for various heads

including meeting lots of celebrities and trav-
eling throughout the world. While he was

MINKOFF Paul Minkoff, 92, passed away peacefully in
his home of 50 years in Glenside, PA on July
20th, from complications after a surgical pro-
cedure in early June. Paul was born in the
Germantown section of Philadelphia to Abra-
ham Minkoff, a Russian immigrant and Anna
(Smith) Minkoff, a Philadelphia native and
one of the first registered nurses in the city.

He was in the Central High School Class of
185 and, prior to the Coronavirus pandemic,
had lunch with several classmates every
month at Scoogi’s in Flourtown. Paul atten-
ded Villanova University on a work-study
scholarship, graduating with a degree in Eco-
nomics in 1950. He then did financial work
for a business during the day while attending
Temple University School of Law at night.

Upon graduation in 1954, Paul entered the
Army as a member of the XVIII Airborne
Corps and was honorably discharged in
1956. He then returned to Philadelphia to be-
gin his law career and became involved with
Germantown Jewish Centre and the Young
Leadership Council. He met the late Hilda
Bressler at a Young People’s League of the
United Synagogue of America convention in
Atlantic City and they married in November of
1957. A year later, they moved to Asheville,
NC so that Paul could take a break from the
law and become the controller for textile
company owned by the family of one of his
Army buddies. He and Hilda returned to Phil-
adelphia in 1962 so that Paul could join the
law firm of Klovsky, Kuby and Harris. He be-
came a partner and was the last surviving
member, not retiring until his mid-80s.

During his career, Paul continued to be very
active with Germantown Jewish Centre, be-
coming president in 1971 at 43 years old; at
the time, the youngest ever to hold the posi-
tion. He also got involved in local Democrat
politics, running for commissioner of Glen-
side and, in 1980, for State Representative
for the 154th legislative district against the
long-time incumbent. Paul managed to cap-
ture more than 40% of the vote in what was
then a predominately Republican district.

Paul then began many years of service to the
Jewish and legal communities in Phil-
adelphia. In 1983, he chaired the Memorial
for Six Million Jewish Martyrs and continued
to organize future events. In 1984, Paul co-
chaired the Israel Independence Day Celebra-
tion. From 1984 to 1996, he was the treas-
urer of the School District Authority of Chel-
tenham Township. From 1985 to 1988, Paul
was the Assistant Secretary of the Phil-
adelphia Bar Association after serving three
years on the its Board of Governors and
chairing Bench Bar conferences. Then in
1988, Paul became the president of the Jew-
ish Community Relations Council after years

December 5, 1923, in Philadelphia, to Leah
and Jack Rosenfeld. She married Sidney
Rothstein on September 19, 1942. She was a
member of Adath Jeshurun Congregation in
Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, and lived in the
Philadelphia area until 2008, when she
moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to be near her
family. She became a member of The Temple
in Louisville. She was preceded in death by
her husband of 47 years, Dr. Sidney Roth-
stein; her daughter Freddie Rothstein; her
parents; her sister, Ann Hoffman, and her

berg, and Molly Goldberg. She married her
high school sweetheart at age 18, during
World War II, when he was serving in the
Navy. They were married the day before Yom
Kippur, a day normally forbidden for wed-
dings, but the rabbi made an exception be-
cause of the war. They both loved traveling
(especially cruises) and spending time in At-
lantic City at their vacation apartment. She
was very proud of Philadelphia and took fam-
ily members to historic sites there. She
loved giving gifts and hosting parties for
weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s, birthdays, and
anniversaries. Her parties were always
planned down to the smallest detail and al-
ways had lots of food. Whatever the occa-
sion, she was always impeccably dressed
with matching accessories. She was a great
baker. She was an avid life-long card player
and passed that love down to everyone in the
family. She enjoyed reading and was inter-
ested in sports and politics. Of most import-
ance to her was spending time with her fam-
ily. A private service was held in Philadelphia.
