GOLDBERG DEATH NOTICES
DANIEL B. GREEN
As one of the original Board members of Federation Housing, Dan
brought compassion, respect and great vison to our organization. His ex-
pertise and philanthropy provided Federation Housing with a strong
foundation, enabling us to carry out our mission of providing affordable
housing and services to the low-income seniors throughout Philadelphia
and surrounding communities. Dan’s efforts on behalf of Federation
Housing assist us in enhancing the quality of life for our senior residents’
agency wide. Two of Federation Housing’s homes proudly bear the
names of Dan’s father, Samuel Green and Dan’s beloved wife, Florence
Green. Dan was greatly admired and respected by the Federation family and the
community and residents that are served by Federation Housing. As we
mark the 50th anniversary of Federation Housing, we are honored that
Dan’s son, Richard, continues this incredible legacy by serving as a
second generation member of our board.

Please join us as we remember this generous, hard-working and commit-
ted gentleman. May Daniel Green’s memory be for a blessing.

DEATH NOTICES
Leonard Paul Kedson, 90, died peacefully at
his home at the Quadrangle in Haverford, PA
early in the morning of August 29. Len and
his loving wife Phyllis, who died in 2018,
raised their family in Lafayette Hill, PA for 45
years. With love and attention, they raised
three sons: David Kedson (Susan Shaid) cur-
rently of Bala Cynwyd, PA, Ira Kedson (Mary
Rourke), currently of Wallingford, PA, and
Jeff Kedson, who passed away in 1982. Len
was a loving and involved grandfather to
Jack, Brandon, and Benjamin Kedson, all of
whom have many fond memories of adven-
tures with their grandfather. Len is also sur-
vived by his brother- and sister-in-law
Howard and Miranda Jaffe, the nieces he ad-
ored, Iris and Jessica Jaffe, and his “adopted
son” David Ableman, as well as David’s two
sons Adam and Andrew Ableman. He was
the son of Sol and Anne Kedson, who prede-
ceased him. Len was first and foremost de-
voted to his family, but nevertheless had a
productive and illustrious professional life.

He finished high school at 15 ½, and then
completed math degrees from both NYU and
Columbia. He served in the Navy during the
Korean Conflict, and then returned to com-
plete engineering degrees from MIT and
Stevens Institute of Technology. During the
Cold War, he was the project engineer who
developed classified surveillance technology
for government agencies. He began the Com-
puter Science department at Monmouth Col-
lege, and was proud to have three grandsons
pursuing computer science careers. After
moving on to roles as CEO in two technology
companies, Len ended his career as a man-
agement consultant. Len leaves behind fam-
ily and friends who will miss his lively pres-
ence, his dramatic debates about American
history and current events, and the energy he
brought to everything that he did. We hope
that he has rejoined his beloved wife, who he
missed so much in the last two years, and
that he is at peace – although we bet there
are some lively debates going on, wherever
he is.

KITCHMAN Chickie (Rose) Kitchman, beloved mother
and friend, passed away peacefully in her
sleep on Thursday, July 30, 2020. She was
nearly 95 years old. Chickie was a trailblazer
known for her exuberance for life, gorgeous
sense of style, and enormous generosity. For
nearly 40 years, Chickie was married to
Henry Tucker. They had two children, Scott
and Shelley. During that time, she started,
owned, and ran five clothing stores called
Chickie’s, offering quality children’s clothing
at affordable prices. In addition, Chickie be-
came the first woman president of the May-
fair Merchants Association. During the
1950s, Chickie also started very successful
stock investment groups that lasted for dec-
ades. She and Henry were avid dancers and
teachers of dancing and very involved with
their families. After Henry passed, Chickie
married Albert Kitchman. Chickie and Al were
active boaters and became enthusiastic world
travelers. She was an avid, competitive
bridge player, studied Yiddish, wrote poetry,
and volunteered with Because We Care.

About 15 years ago, Chickie and Al were in
the first group of people to move into Ann’s
Choice retirement community, which they
loved. Chickie Kitchman is survived by her
daughter Shelley, son-in-law Bruce Sherman,
granddaughter Jennyfer Schaubel, great
granddaughters Madison and Jackie
Schaubel, and Al’s son Leonard Kitchman,
his wife Rhona Kitchman, and their daughter
Allison Kitchman. Chickie’s love of life
seemed boundless, even extending to every
dog she ever saw. Chickie will truly be
missed. To place a Memorial Ad
