His hand was held, and a lifetime of kisses returned with the kind of love only a truly devoted husband and father can inspire.Aaron lived a life of devotion and ser- vice to his family, community and faith. Irma Sue Hafetz (née Neff), his wife of 59 years, was his greatest joy and truest love and in his final days he used what strength remained to share one last kiss. Following service as a Marine MP during WWII and the Korean War, Aaron married Irma and raised four sons. A patriarch in the most profound sense, Aaron's family relied on his moral wis- dom, unquestioning love and unfailing sup- port. He instilled in his family a strong sense of Jewish identity and commitment to reli- gious and cultural participation. In addition to beloved family man, Aaron was known as an inspiring teacher who influenced generations as teacher and ultimately head of the math department for 35 years at Atlantic City High School, and as Hebrew School teacher at Beth Judah. In the years since retiring in 1989, he continued to receive tributes from former students whose lives he touched. For many years he co-owned a hotel in Atlantic City and continued as a small business own- er until his passing. He remained a respec- ted and steadfast leader in his community until his final months and his generosity as a philanthropist benefited numerous causes and Jewish organizations. In addition to his wife, Irma, Aaron's legacy includes son Scott and daughter-in-law Kathy Hafetz of Linwood; Drew Hafetz of Hollywood, FL; Larry Hafetz and son-in-law Eric Gutierrez of Los Angeles, CA; and Glenn Hafetz, of Ventnor, who in these final years was his father's most con- stant companion; as well as his grandchil- dren Jordon, Brianna, Madison, and Brandon, in whom he had such pride. He also main- tained special relationships with his nieces and nephews and lifelong friendships with his extended family, including his sister- and brother-in-law, Jeannie and Burt Bennett of Pompano Beach, FL. Donations to American Friends of Magen David Adom, www.afda.org, or to Birthright Israel, www.birthrightisrael.com, are appreciated and will help carry on Aaron's commitment to safeguarding Jewish culture.

DEATH NOTICES LOMONOSOFF LEVINE David Levine, originally from Pittsburgh, tra- gically died with his beloved wife, Tania, in a house fire on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, at the age of 55. Loving husband of the late Tania Levine for 30 years; caring father of Ju- lian and Monica Levine; beloved son of Patty and Stanley Levine, brother of Susie Gross (Donald), Hank Levine (Jill), and Betsy Lev- ine-Brown (Marc). David grew up on Mar- bury Road in Churchill where he enjoyed playing street hockey and every imaginable sport with his siblings and neighbors. A mu- sic lover, David played the guitar, and had re- cently taken it up again. David showed an early interest in nature and animals, espe- cially reptiles. Spending his summers at Kamp Kawanee in Pennsylvania and Camp Walden in Canada with his siblings, he was known as a fun-loving, prankster. He gradu- ated from Churchill High School in 1979, and then attended the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1983 from the Wharton School of Business. Subsequently, David lived in Philadelphia, where he met the love of his life, Tania. After college, David worked as an options trader and market maker at the Phil- adelphia Stock Exchange, eventually starting and serving as President of his own firm, DL Securities, Ltd. Always a risk taker with a sharp and analytic mind, David successfully traded options for twenty-nine years. In 2013, David reinvented himself as owner and operator of ComForCare Senior Services Care with his wife, Tania. David led the company’s marketing, sales, and business strategy, and was named one of the Huffington Post’s “50 Post-50 Boomers,” individuals who reinven- ted themselves after the age of 50. David was a devoted husband and father who loved to spend time traveling with his family. Togeth- er, David and Tania shared an appreciation for fine and exotic foods, wines, and cooking. Always an interested conversationalist, David was the rare kind of person who consistently asked others about themselves, and intently listened to the answers. He enjoyed playing golf, and would never say no to a poker game with friends. He approached poker like everything else he did, with an analytic and studious mind. Always a lover of clever puns, David was quick witted and funny, and could be counted on for a play on words. All who knew and loved David are overcome with grief by the devastating and tragic loss.

LEVINE Tetiana (Tania) Levine, of Philadelphia, with her beloved husband, David, tragically died in a house fire on Wednesday, October 5, 2016, at the age of 58. Loving wife of the late David Levine for 30 years; caring mother of Julian and Monica Levine; beloved daughter of Na- dia and Osyp Nimylowycz, sister of Marta Fox and Lydia Sos (Yarko). Raised in Phil- adelphia, Tania’s childhood was intimately in- volved with the Ukrainian community, espe- cially scouting. Tania attended St Basil ele- mentary school and graduated from Girls High. Graduating from Temple University, Tania went on to work for the Defense Indus- trial Supply Center in Philadelphia after col- lege. Tania met her soul mate, David, and the two were married in 1986. Tania dedicated herself to raising their two children, Julian and Monica, tending to her parents, and tak- ing care of others, including her precious cats. At her children’s schools, Tania was an active member of the Parent Teacher Organ- ization, and could be counted on for her tire- less hours of work. Inspired by her autistic nephew, Tania became an aide in a school with autistic children at Temple Beth Hillel’s Beth El Bright Horizon program, bringing her gifts of patience and kindness. In 2013, Tania and her husband David acquired a local fran- chise of ComForCare Senior Services Care, a home healthcare business. With her clients, Tania demonstrated generosity and empathy, as she did with everyone she encountered. Tania had many hobbies and passions, most notably painting. Tania was a master painter, crafting intricate artwork and studying under Paul DuSolde. She enjoyed painting outdoor landscapes and human figures. Tania was also a voracious reader who looked forward to in-depth conversations with her longtime book club friends. Tania shared a love for European travel and cooking with David and her children. This past summer, Tania and her daughter Monica travelled to Europe to- gether in celebration of Monica’s college graduation. All who knew Tania can attest to her gentle spirit; as a mother, daughter, wife, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, teacher, animal lover, businesswoman, and friend. Tania’s easygoing nature immediately put people at ease everywhere she went, and will be forever missed.

Dave lived a long, happy and blessed life. He and his life partner Lil, were married joyfully for 71 years, until her death in July, 2014. Dave, together with Lil, loved playing cards with friends and, in middle age, took up golf and experienced many hours of pleasure on the golf course. He enjoyed going to work every day, six or even seven days per week. For fifty years, Dave Weisfeld owned and op- erated the D & W Famous Store in Camden, New Jersey. The venerable army and navy store served as a valued resource for Cam- den’s working men and a well regarded and welcoming community hub. Throughout his retirement, Dave remained active and fully engaged in the pleasures and meaningful en- deavors of life. At age 94, Dave walked into a showroom and drove away in a new Nissan sedan. Just days before his passing, he en- joyed his almost daily ritual of coffee and fel- lowship with his Dunkin Donuts buddies, all almost half his age. Dave was well known for his wonderful sense of humor – quips and observations about life and the world – that provided a grounding perspective on the ups and downs of the human experience and a delight to all who knew him. He derived much joy and pride from his children and grand- children. Dave is survived by son Arthur Weisfeld (Virginia Brabender, Ph.D.) of Swarthmore, PA, his daughter Judy Levy (Robert Levy, Ph.D.) of Cooper City, FL, and grandchildren Seth (Kelly), Rachel, Jacob (Natasha Go) and Gabi. It has been said that death ends a life, but the person lives on in the hearts and minds of his/her loved ones. This truth is a sense of comfort for the fam- ily and friends of David Weisfeld.
