Each day was a new adventure for him. He traveled to many wonderful places in the world with dear friends and family. He loved art, music, and theater! He was an avid sports fan, always eager to cheer on any and all Philadelphia teams, especially his beloved Villanova Wildcats. He enjoyed fishing and would talk of falling asleep on the dock be- hind his condominium in Brigantine, only to be awakened by the tug of a fish at the other end of the pole, and then going across the way to a Chinese restaurant where they would cook his catch of the day.

BORNSTEIN It is with great sadness that the family of Barry Bornstein announce his passing on May 13, 2020 after a long battle with Parkin- son’s Disease. An exceedingly warm and kind man with a huge heart, he was unfailingly generous, had a playful and affectionate sense of humor, a twinkle in his eye, and an indefatigable sense of integrity. He was fiercely intelligent and creative. He loved nothing more than to be surrounded by his family, his many friends, and his dogs. He possessed boundless optimism and belief in himself, in capacity for growth, and in the ability to direct his destiny. He was resolute in his determination to overcome the many challenges of Parkinson’s Disease despite there not being a cure. His Herculean efforts to maintain strength and independence over the years were marveled at by all those who came to know him. He was an inspiration to all. Born in Philadelphia to N. Herman and Shirley Bornstein (Dembow), he was raised in Germantown, attended Germantown Academy and Central High School, where he played on the football team, and Villanova University. When circumstances demanded, he assumed leadership of the family firm, B. Bornstein and Son Construction. He would go on to build and manage projects throughout the Philadelphia, southern New Jersey and Delaware areas. These ranged from the commercial (construction of Sears, Macy’s, Gimbel’s, and Strawbridge & Clothi- er’s Clover department stores) to the public (the Philadelphia Bulk Mail Center; Phil- adelphia Gas Works (PGW); the Atlantic County Courthouse in Atlantic City, NJ) and private sectors (The Wistar Institute at the University of Pennsylvania). These are but a few of many successful projects that bore the company’s mark. Over time he would suc- cessfully pivot the company into a home in- spection and consulting firm, applying his years of experience, comprehensive know- ledge of construction, and sharp analytic mind to the meticulous examination of resid- ential homes, sprawling office complexes, and commercial towers. He was known to root out defects that escaped notice by oth- ers in order to protect many a devoted client. He was sought out for advice nationally; his client list extended from New England to Flor- ida, and its composition and breadth led one news outlet to refer to him as the ‘Inspector to the Stars’. Expert in his field, Barry was a modern-day David going up against Goliaths, but never allowed pressure to influence the straightforward and honest reporting of facts. His reputation brought countless court ap- pearances as an expert witness. He also en- joyed leading historic property restoration projects throughout Philadelphia. He be- longed to many professional associations. Barry’s upbringing provided him with a strong sense of his heritage. He would often recount that his great-grandfather was known as a builder of churches in Russia. His grand- father and father followed suit as builders of synagogues including Beth Sholom in Elkins Park, PA, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and designated a National Historical Land- mark. Beth Sholom was the family’s place of worship in which Barry, like his father and grandfather before him, was deeply involved.

She was a pioneer of working moth- erhood in her time, serving the local com- munity alongside her husband while they raised three sons. They worked together for 53 years until retirement.

CALL 215-832-0749 JEWISHEXPONENT.COM M ay , 2020 D eath N otices CHAKER DEATH NOTICES DEATH NOTICES CHACKER CHAVENSON Ruth Natalie Chacker (nee Bett) was born in Philadelphia on October 6, 1929. She atten- ded Overbrook High School and was the first in her family to earn a BA, which she did at Temple University. Family lore has it that she met late husband, Dr. Frederic M. Chacker, in French class and that he proposed to her while she was perched on a stove. Ruth worked at Gimbel’s Department Store early on in marriage, and then stayed home to raise their four children -- Hilarie, Larry, Stephanie and Stacey, support her own mother – Eva Bett, keep books in her hus- band’s and then later in her son’s dental of- fice, and engage in a myriad of community service. Up until her last day of life, Ruth was adventurous, had a keen interest in the world, and was a lifelong learner. She was a mem- ber of Hadassah and Har Zion Temple, where she served as the Treasurer and President of their Sisterhood, and Hadassah. She took a variety of classes at OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) at Temple University, ran- ging from bible study to film. Until recently, she delivered challah to patients at Jefferson University Hospital monthly with a friend. At 90 she traveled the City on foot or on SEPTA buses – going to movies, museums, theatres, or meeting friends. She always had a knitting project going. She traveled both near and far with her late husband Fred, her family and later with her special friend Samuel Firestone. During a time that many were struggling with how to work remotely during the pandemic, Ruth managed to pick up social media skills – zooming and FaceTiming with family and friends. Ruth was patient and welcoming. She rolled with the punches with a sense of humor, taking care of the dogs and other crit- ters that her husband and kids brought home (and sometimes found wandering around the house – the pet rats). There was always room for extended family and friends at her table – she was known for hosting the Jewish and other holidays and was always feeding people. At 90, she cooked her last Thanksgiv- ing dinner. She had many old friends and continued to make new friends – in the park, in her building, on the bus, at the synagogue – almost anywhere. She was amazing family historian. Ruth died suddenly and peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, May 2, 2020. She is survived by her beloved children Hilarie, Larr (Judie), Stephanie and Stacey, and her grandchildren Ariane, AnQi and Leila Jeh. She also leaves behind Samuel Firestone, her de- voted companion. She remained throughout her life a positive force – caring for others, open to exploring her city and the world and supporting many causes. She will be greatly missed by many relatives, friends, and oth- ers. Burial services are private. There will be public memorial. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her honor either to Ha- dassah or OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning In- stitute) at Temple University, P.O. Box, 827651, Phila, PA 19182.

Len was born in 1923 in West Philadelphia, to Paul and Fannie Feldman, attended schools in the Philadelphia area, then served in World War II with the rank of Sergeant in the European theater, earning a Meritorious Unit Award and a Purple Heart Medal. In 1947, Len gradu- ated from University of Pennsylvania with Phi Beta Kappa honors and in 1949 received his MBA from the Wharton School. Len became a CPA and worked with his father at the Phil- adelphia accounting firm of Feldman & Feld- man, and later with Morris J. Cohen Inc. un- til his retirement at the age of 94. In 1950, he married the love of his life Judy Shestack from Wynnefield and raised three children, Ken, who passed away in 2007, Rick and Kathy in Wynnewood. In 1962, Len and Judy were one of the 17 founding families of Temple Beth Hillel, later merging as Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El. He developed there a life- time of friends and served as its President in 1972. He also served as the President of the William Porter Lodge. Len was an avid ten- nis player, committed to weekly foursomes with close friends, except during tax season. For many years, Len and Judy enjoyed their winter apartment at Boca Lago in Boca Raton. They also loved to travel, and Len documented not only every vista with his photography but also with a running com- mentary. This hobby extended into an in- cessant taking of pictures of friends and fam- ily at every major and minor event only to be appreciated many years later. Len was a lover of classical music, played to the highest of decibels on the home phonograph, while conducting his favorite Mahler’s 1st Sym- phony, often only to an audience of his dog Misty. Len was also an avid and loyal Phil- adelphia sports fan. After Judy’s passing several years ago, Len moved from Haver- ford to the Watermark, walking distance to his accounting firm. Our family is so grateful for the friendship and care Sandra, Carlene and Annie provided to him these last few years. Len will be remembered for his warmth, kindness and cheery disposition. Throughout his long life, Len never com- plained about anything and took great joy in his family, friends and neighbors. He was a man of unparalleled character, principled and understated. He is survived by his younger sister Grace, her husband Ed, sisters in law Marciarose, Louise and her husband Alan, and his loving grandchildren Zachary, Noah, Jesse and his wife Eva, and Allie.

Horowitz (Fratkin), 78, of Wyn- newood, beloved wife, mother, sister, cousin, Bubbie, friend, passed away at peace on the evening of May 3rd due to complications of COVID-19. She fought a nearly lifelong battle with T1 Diabetes coupled later in life with heart disease and other health challenges. Described by her brother as a rising phoenix, she was not defined by her illnesses, rather we will remember her for her humor and strength. An animal lover since birth, her childhood summers were fondly spent at Pinemere Camp where she went on to be- come a counselor with keen archery skills. As a student and later an educator, she re- mained active as an alum of Overbrook HS Class of January 1959. Earning her degree in elementary education at Penn State in 1962, she was a founding member of the campus chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon sorority. She built a career in the arts, education and ad- ministration. Arlene was preceded in death by her parents Ralph Fratkin and Mildred Fratkin (Levin). She is survived by her husband of nearly 58 years, Michael, and their children David Horowitz and Julie Horowitz-Jackson (Donald); siblings Susan Fratkin Sherman, El- liot Fratkin (Marty Nathan), and Jake Fratkin (Dominique); 3 nieces and 4 nephews, 5 grand nieces and a grand nephew.

She cherished her family (including her dog- gies) and was the solid foundation in a house full of eccentrics. She filled her home with strong Jewish values, filled her kitchen with inviting smells from her delicious cooking, and filled her family’s schedules with well- structured plans.

In the first part of her career she was a speech pathologist and a teacher of English as a second language. Along the way she learned to speak Hebrew, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Later in her professional life she directed continuing education courses on Jewish culture and his- tory and organized Jewish heritage tours around the world. She read widely, loved to travel, and had a deep appreciation for fine art. Her style and fashion reflected her joie de vivre and attention to detail. She was the one dancer in a family of singers.

GOLDSTEINS' ROSENBERG'S RAPHAEL-SACKS SIGAL SHATZ Geraldine Ann Shatz passed away on April 4, 2020 at her home in New York City. Geri had an insatiable appetite for knowledge and for wisdom. To fulfill these desires, Geri read, traveled, listened, and then read some more. This motivation fueled her rise through the leadership ranks of many philanthropic or- ganizations such as Jewish National Fund and Kol Emet Synagogue. To Geri, no indi- vidual lacked perspective or insight. Her dis- cussions would drift effortlessly from the economic conditions of Yerucham to the un- told history of Moroccan cuisine. Geri did not set the topic and she used every interaction to distill facts and understand perspective. Completing the Saturday edition of the New York Times crossword puzzle was mere routine. Geri is survived by her sister, Nicki (David), her three sons, Theodore, James (Elizabeth) and Rick and by Carol Weiss. She is pre-deceased by her parents Harry Weiss and Lyla Weiss. Geri is also survived by countless friends and relatives on every con- tinent that have had the unique opportunity to engage in projects, discussions, crusades and so many other meaningful activities. It is impossible to encapsulate her memory for all of these individuals. Burial took place on April 7, 2020. In lieu of flowers, the family re- quests that you may participate in her me- morial services at a future date when the world is permitted to reconvene and properly celebrate Geri.

He was fun & gentle with little children, and kind & selfless to family, friends and strangers, alike. In addi- tion to playing with little children on their level (both literally and figuratively), he loved telling jokes and stories. A favorite story of his was his first story: He was proud that he was born into an Orthodox Jewish family in Washington DC and was circumcised by their synagogue’s Cantor, the famous singer Al Jolson’s father. He considered that his “claim to fame.” He also would joke that, eighteen years later, after graduating from Central High School (Philadelphia) and right before the end of WWII, he joined the US Army war effort just in time to guard German POWs that were being held stateside (who, he said, were no trouble because they knew they were going home soon). He had lost his father be- fore he was 13, and his now-single mom moved him and his 2 younger sisters to Phil- adelphia, where he would happily spend most of his life. After his stint in the Army, he began working for the federal government, first briefly for the Social Security Adminis- tration (SSA), then the IRS. He earned a BS (Business) from Temple University after 8 years of night school while working full time. It had to be hard, but no one remembered him ever complaining. While at the SSA, he had met and married the love of his life, Ad- ele née Shecktor, of blessed memory. They were considered by many the perfect couple, and they were devoted to each other until separated by her death after almost 60 years of marriage. He had retired from the IRS after 30 years of service, and then worked for PA Wage & Hour, investigating and protecting workers’ rights, before finally retiring to spend his life with his beloved Adele. After her death, he moved to Austin, Texas to be closer to his son, Scott, and his family. While there, he lived at Brookdale Gaines Ranch, where the residents and employees loved his daily (sometimes groaner) jokes and smiling face. In addition to his wife, Adele, he was preceded in death by his parents (Zelig and Ethel nee Brint Weiner), his sister (Shirley nee Weiner Susson) & her husband (Marvin) & their son (Steve). He is and will re- membered by his family and friends, and all with whom he came in contact, including his sister & her husband (Janet nee Weiner & Jules Polsky), his son (Scott Weiner) & his ex-wife that Joe & Adele always thought of as their adult daughter (Lisa Dean), his grand- children (Ben Weiner & Abbi Sims), his great granddaughter (Elliott Seyer), and his many nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grand- nephews. There is nothing better to say about a person than: He was a man and a mensch. The world is a better place, and we are all better people, because he was here. May his memory be a blessing.
