SHLIFER It is with the deepest sorrow that we share
the news of the passing of Michael (Mickey)
Shlifer on January 26, 2021. He was the be-
loved husband of Rhoda Pollon Shlifer for 63
years. Also, mourning their father, are sons,
Gary and Daniel, along with granddaughters,
Hallie and Nina. Born December 1, 1936, Mi-
chael was a West Philly guy, through and
through. He attended West Philadelphia High
School and Temple University School of
Business. He spent the first year of his mar-
riage in Lawton, Oklahoma, serving in the
United States Army Dental Corps. After the
years in the Army, with plenty of tales to tell,
he embarked on a long career in the trans-
portation industry. Michael owned several
companies related to the industry and retired
to Longboat Key Florida after having been
president of an airport shuttle and limousine
service for over eight years. A new life began
in Florida with Michael Rhoda, and eventu-
ally both sons, playing lots of tennis and vo-
lunteering for many worthwhile organiza-
tions. These included mentoring and tutoring
in elementary schools, working with Jewish
Family and Children Services, and teaching
English as a second language for the Liter-
acy Council. A unique teaching group of re-
tired teachers invited Michael to be the only
male as part of their special method of teach-
ing young students with reading difficulties.

This wonderful man was loved and respec-
ted by all who knew him and the love of
Rhoda’s life. We will read his name in the
Book of Life. Services will be private and a
special celebration will take place in the fu-
ture. Suggestions for charities are American
Cancer Society or JFCS.
