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.

JEWISHEXPONENT.COM Samuel Henry Weiner of Yardley, PA, died at
his home on February 20, 2021 at the age of
94 from complications of myelofibrosis, a
type of blood cancer. Born in Philadelphia,
PA, he graduated from West Philadelphia
High School in 1944 despite being a terrible
student. He then enlisted in the Army and
served in the Pacific Theater in World War II,
where he spent time as a Prisoner of War and
earned a Bronze Star. After his discharge in
1946 he attended Penn State University with
assistance from the GI Bill, graduating in
1950 with a B.S. in Physics. He then worked
at ITE Circuit Breaker in Philadelphia while
completing requirements and earning an
M.S. in Physics from Penn State. He was dis-
covered to have talent for writing patents and
was hired by a New York based patent law
firm, now known as Ostrolenk Faber LLP. He
earned a J.D. from Temple University Law
School in 1961, and stayed at Ostrolenk
through his retirement as the firm’s Senior

able 60-year career he wrote and litigated
patents for solar batteries, rectifiers, micro-
chips, light dimmers and MRI medical tech-
nology that revolutionized modern life. He en-
joyed travel, great food, reading, the Sat-

era, sports, a good joke, a cold glass of gin
and lousy cigars. Most of all, he cherished
his family. He was predeceased by his be-
loved wife Bella (1929-1992) and is survived
by his loving partner Alina Groblicka, sons,
Louis (Harriet) Weiner and Stephen (Ryta)
