She was born on May 7, 1923 in Stanislawow, Poland. She was prede- ceased by her parents, Emanuel and Yetta Stanger, and a younger sister, Esterra at the outbreak of WWII. After an idyllic childhood, the war changed the course of Regina’s life. She followed the admonition of her mother that a member of her family must survive. Although the rest of her extended family per- ished in the war, she survived by hiding for 22 months in the attic of the home of a right- eous gentile. In 1945, her city was liberated by the Russians. Among the soldiers was a Jewish Officer, Dr. Philip M. Fields. Her liber- ator became her husband in 1946. Their daughter Edna was born in a German dis- placed persons camp in 1947, where they resided for two years before immigrating to the United States. Symbolically, they arrived in New York Harbor on July 4 th , 1949 to be- gin their new life. They settled in Phil- adelphia where daughters Estella and De- borah were born. Regina was an educator at Har Zion Nursery School from 1965 to 1970. She continued teaching at Temple Adath Is- rael until her retirement in 1993. Teaching and interacting with young children was the joy of her life. Regina was a beloved member of the Philadelphia Main Line community. Because of her unique background, she was called upon to memorialize her story, which was recorded and distributed to children at bar and bat mitzvahs. Her life’s story was also recorded by Gratz College, the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, Yad Vashem in Is- rael, and by the Spielberg Shoah Foundation’s Oral History Project in Califor- nia. Regina was preceded in death by her husband Philip of 38 years, her companion Myer Adler, who passed away in 1995, and her close friend Sam Chirsan who passed away in 2010. She is survived by children Edna Metzger, Dr. Estella and Peter Graeffe, Deborah and Dr. Arthur Kravitz, nine grand- children including six spouses, and twelve great grandchildren.

DEATH NOTICES GORDESKY HELLER Samuel Aaron Gordesky, Somers Point, NJ at age 98 was known to family and friends as Sol. Born in Philadelphia, he was preceded in death by his wife Allene and his three older siblings Edward Gordy, Rita Chorney and Lil- lian Podell. Sol was an avid tennis player and that’s an understatement. He continued to play until the age of 88 when he absolutely had to quit because he just couldn’t see the ball. A consummate humanitarian, Sol often stepped in to help others who could not help themselves by showing them they could suc- ceed. For example, he helped illiterate adults learn to read and assisted new Americans from many different countries find meaning- ful lives in the United States. Sol always held a special place in his heart for the State of Is- rael and after he retired from business, he served in the Israeli army through the Volun- teers for Israel Program. He was a tireless advocate for equal justice, civil rights and for any issue which he saw as “just plain wrong.” More often than not, he was drafted into leadership roles preferring to work dili- gently behind the scenes without fanfare. He loved Judaism and was an ardent supporter of a long list of Jewish causes throughout his life. Sol will be missed by his two daughters Joan G. Kaufman and Susan Gordesky (aka Joanie & Susie), son-in-law Louis Hecht, Jr., his three grandchildren David Kaufman, Alex- ander Bruner, Katelyn Bruner, nieces and nephews and many friends. He will be lov- ingly remembered by his remarkable team of dedicated care givers and their families for the past three years. ROTH-GOLDSTEINS’ MEMORIAL CHAPEL HALPERN Beryl G.

Katz, Esquire, January 12, 1928- October 5, 2019. The founder of Meranze, Katz, and Gaudioso P.C. and dedicated his professional life as a champion of the rights and quality of life for tens of thousands of working men, women and their families in- cluding the Pressmen, Drivers, Mailers and Paper Handlers at the Inquirer and Daily News. Bernard (“Bernie”) attended law school immediately upon completing service in the U.S. Navy during WW II. He founded the firm over 60 years ago as a result of his deep commitment to and belief in the labor movement, and devoted his entire profes- sional career to improving the lives of work- ing people and protecting the rights of Labor organizations. Recognized as one of the pre- eminent labor lawyers in the country, Bernie served on numerous governmental commis- sions pertaining to labor law, including the Hickman Commission which was respons- ible for the design, drafting and ultimate pas- sage of Pennsylvania Act 195, which brought Union representation to public employees. Bernie taught for many years at the Temple University School of Law in its post-graduate law program, concentrating in Labor law and Labor arbitration and was responsible for mentoring and training generations of Union side labor lawyers who followed in his path. Bernie was licensed in the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, and practiced before the Supreme Court of the United States, the U. S. Courts of Appeals for the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 11th and District of Columbia Circuits, and numerous Federal District Courts, as well as the National Labor Relations Board, Federal Mediation Concili- ation Service and the American Arbitration Association. He was directly responsible for innumerable legal decisions shaping the workplace life and standards of living that working men, women and their families en- joy today. Dubbed “Bernie the Attorney” by his clients, they knew they had in him a tire- less advocate who lived the values of the trade union movement. A giant in the labor movement, his passing marks the end of an era. Bernie was also a devoted, loving, gener- ous and caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Whether it was spe- cial occasions, sports competitions, school shows, dance recitals, family dinners or just day to day life, Bernie was always there to support his family and share his excitement and joy in their accomplishments. His wit, passion for life and humor were infectious as he lived the qualities of grace in accomplish- ments and perseverance when overcoming obstacles. An avid ocean swimmer and exer- cise enthusiast, nothing gave him more pleasure than sharing athletic pursuits with his children and later his grandchildren. He is survived by his loving wife of 66 years, Nat- aleen, his son (and law partner) Michael and his wife Sharon, his daughter (and law part- ner) Elissa and her husband Joe, his grand- children Dan and Shoshana and their spouses Cassie and Adam, his grandchildren Alexis and Danielle and her husband Mark and his great-grandchildren Eve, Sansa and Isabeau.

DEATH NOTICES DEATH NOTICES POLEN MITNICK Lawrence R. Mitnick, 86, of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, October 16, 2019. Born March 1, 1933 to Carl T. and Margaret (Greenfield) Mitnick, Mr. Mitnick was raised in Collingswood, NJ, and was graduated from Collingswood High School and Princeton University. After college, he joined his father in a homebuilding business primarily en- gaged in the construction of single family housing developments in South Jersey’s At- lantic and Cape May Counties. In a career spanning more than five decades, Mr. Mit- nick was involved in the development of more than 5,000 homes, including Green- sward in Cherry Hill and Tranquility in North Cape May, among many others. He served on the Executive Committee for the National As- sociation of Home Builders, one of the nation’s largest trade associations. Always a charitable and giving person, Mr. Mitnick donated his time, money and energies to many worthwhile causes. He was the first Big Brother in Atlantic County, helping to create a better life for four fatherless boys. He served as Chairman of Fundraising for the Federa- tion of United Jewish Appeal and represen- ted his region in several leadership missions to Israel. To his core, Larry, as he was widely known, was a kind and gentle soul, always supportive, accepting and encouraging of his family, friends, colleagues and community. His word and his honor meant everything to him and he led by his deeds and actions. The consummate optimist, he was blessed with an excellent sense of humor, a keen wit and a love of music. He often serenaded his family and friends with his banjo or ukulele at gath- erings or amused them with one of his groan-worthy puns. In his retirement, he and his wife enjoyed extensive travel together and with friends. Mr. Mitnick is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Maxine Schnall, his four children, Stephen (Denise), David (Shelly), Lisa (Seth) and Susan (Ari), his nine grandchildren, Emily (Michael), Elizabeth, Ar- iel, Jeremy, Michael, Rebecca, Jasper, Gemma & Pearle, his two stepchildren Ilene (Brad) and Rona, his sister, Barbara and Es- ther Gushner, the mother of his children.

Graced with the sweetest of hearts as well as an indomitable spirit, Connie shared excitement and humor, caring and loyalty, honesty and love, wherever she went. She led with her heart, always. A South Philly girl, precious daughter of the late Louis and Rosalyn (Ross) Barsky and dear sister to Mindy Keesal, Connie single-handedly cre- ated a warm home for her family in Penn Wynne, PA. She put herself through Villan- ova University, a Bachelor's and Master's graduate with the highest honors, and then managed the school's Human Organization Science Institute. Connie was a published poet -- a prolific and bold writer. She also passionately performed educational work- shops, mostly for seniors, throughout the Philadelphia area. A quick wit, with a smile that warmed your being, Connie was happi- est when caring for others. Though afflicted for decades with a panic disorder more severe than any had ever encountered, she ferociously, she valiantly, fought on every single day to be Connie -- to live with joy. Through pleasure or pain, for over 85 years, there was surely not one dull moment. Above all, Connie was a fabulously loving mother to Kirk, and to Wayne Savell, and to the late Keith Savell, lost at age 10. Proud grand- mother of Keven Savell, Connie will be pro- foundly missed. We love you infinity plus plus plus… Together again with her angel, Keith. Contributions in her name may be made to ElderNet, 9 South Bryn Mawr Ave., Bryn Mawr, PA 19010.
