DIAS DEATH NOTICES BROOKS Stanley Brooks 1929-2021, resident of Rydal Park, passed away on April 4, 2021. He was 92 years young. Stan was the baby to three older siblings in a working class family in New York City. Stan was an intellectually curious person who loved sharing his know- ledge and insights with others. He built friendships across the globe and is much be- loved by many. Stan was a 1951 graduate of the National Agricultural College (now Delaware Valley University). In 1952 he was drafted into the Marine Corp to fight in Korea but before his ship arrived, the war ended and his unit set out to rebuild Japan . He and a Japanese student of English developed a strong friendship which endured for decades. When Stan’s mother suffered a stroke in 1953, his older brothers worked through the Red Cross to return him home, to New York. For the duration of his services, he was sta- tioned in a Watch Tower in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, guarding the East River from potential enemies. In late 1954, Stan married Millie Mosko, whom he met in 1950, when both were college students. Given the choice, he picked his urban bride over a career in farm- ing. He never looked back. While Stan’s ori- ginal career goals involved work in farm product processing, he soon joined a family- run company that bought, sold and refur- bished used industrial equipment. Stan hap- pily continued at Perry Equipment for 38 years. Among his specialties were repurpos- ing sugar refineries, old-style large American breweries and pharmaceutical tanks. His work gave Stan insight and knowledge into global manufacturing practices. His bound- less creativity and entrepreneurship led him to pursue business in the Soviet Union and India long before it became commonplace. He and Millie lived near London for over a year, while Stan opened the first internation- al office of his company in 1990. Stan was active in his retirement years. He took great pleasure as a docent at the Franklin Institute science and technology museum in Phil- adelphia, taking special interest in the manu- facture of paper. In his 70’s, Stan studied clowning and became a hospital clown known as “Dr. Dandee” visiting patients (kids and adults) in hospitals and providing strong medicine called ‘laughter.’ Kibitzing aside, his warmth and compassion were most ap- preciated. He was a leader at Melrose B’nai Israel Emanu-el and could be counted on to make a minyan. Stan and Millie raised their family in Philadelphia and Cheltenham, and later moved to Elkins Park. Their final move landed them in a retirement community two weeks before the world shut down in March 2020. Stan is survived by his wife Mildred Brooks, daughter Fran Brooks (Michael Elen- ko), son Maury Brooks, daughter Sharon Brooks (Yisroel Schwartz), grandchildren Kaija, Sasha, Aesop, Yehoshua, Leah, and Shalom, as well as many other loving relat- ives. Stan lives on in the people he touched with his warmth, and joy in connecting with every person near or far. He brought laughter to hearts and nudged us to see light in dark- ness. He showed us that there is no end to curiosity and a certain satisfaction on the journey initiated this way. Just give it a try.

Kolsby, July 10, 1926 - May 1, 2021. Preeminent trial lawyer, law professor, tireless advocate and fundraiser for the State of Israel, died peacefully in his sleep on Sat- urday at the age of 94. He was a loving hus- band for 72 years of the late Hermine Wilson Kolsby, his childhood sweetheart; he was also a devoted father, grandfather and great- grandfather. A founding partner of Phil- adelphia law firm, Kolsby Gordon, he was for five decades a fierce advocate for the com- mon man and woman, by holding entities like drug companies and auto manufacturers ac- countable for their egregious errors. He is among the first attorneys responsible for bringing to light the dangers of Diethylstil- bestrol (DES) and the Dalkon Shield. A graduate of Temple Law School in 1951, forty years later he helped create their nationally- ranked Masters Program in Trial Advocacy, and he is honored by a Distinguished Lec- tureship there in his name. In 1993, he was the recipient of the prestigious Michael A. Musmanno Award—given annually to "the person best exemplifying the same high in- tegrity, courage, and concern for human rights as exhibited by the late Justice." He was a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, and he is listed in all recent editions of the Best Lawyers in America. He was General Chairman of the Federation Al- lied Jewish Appeal and president of Temple Adath Israel in Merion. Anyone who heard him speak publicly felt his powerful presence. Philadelphia Magazine called him "the best orator in the city." He was also an incredibly charming and funny man with a repertory of several thousand jokes. He was always a de- lightful conversationalist. He never lost his power to articulate, and was as sharp just be- fore his death as he had been in his prime. He is survived by his brother, Charles Kolsby (Beryl); his children, Dana Edenbaum (Saul), Robert Kolsby (Kathy) and Paul Kolsby (Sam); his grandchildren, Hal (Martina), Ted, Alice, Charlie and Wilson; and his great- grandsons, Jesse and Leo.
