ued to go to lectures from retired
college professors until the end,
scrawling notes on things to share
with friends and family. She always
sought people to listen and learn
from, support and love. She was
the support beam of her family, the
glue, the gardener who cared for us
all, who cared so much, about ev-
erything, always. Her children and
grandchildren learnt so much from
her; to love, empathize, appreciate,
and understand all comes from her,
along with proper comma place-
ment. Judy will be missed dearly.

She will live on in the hearts and
memories of her family and friends.

Donations in her memory may be
made to People For the American
Way or Wayfinder Family Services.

ZOLOT Bernard “Bernie”, April 9, 2022 of
Narberth, PA. Born in 1927 and
raised in a musical family, took to
percussion instruments and was
a talented drummer and bongo
player. After graduating from West
Philadelphia High School, he en-
rolled at Penn State and interrupt-
ed college to enlist in the U.S. Navy
during World War II. His ship, the
U.S.S. Whittier, supplied cargo and
munitions to ports in the Pacific
and Indian Oceans. After the War,
he joined the Bilt-Well Furniture
Company, a family business begun
by his father Charles. He and his
brother Mickey developed the busi-
ness into two companies, adding
Tri-Mark Designs. At Tri-Mark, Ber-
nie was a visionary who embraced
the modernist furniture movement
of the time. His innovative styles
in metal, glass and upholstery are
now recognized as classics of the
“Mid-Century Modern” design pe-
riod. In the 1970’s, a friend and
fellow businessman showed him
a sample of “Ultrasuede” fabric, a
synthetic suede struggling to find
relevance in clothing manufactur-
ing. Bernie foresaw Ultrasuede’s
greater appeal as an upholstery
fabric so he developed a line of
furniture styles to showcase it. The
line’s immediate success inspired
Bernie to pioneer the distribution
of Ultrasuede, now ubiquitous, to
the greater U.S. Home Furnishings
industry. In his leisure time, Bernie
was an accomplished golfer and
was a student of the game. He
was a natural golf teacher who of-
fered informal tips and lessons that
were valued and enjoyed among
his many playing partners. Bernie
is survived by loving and devoted
family members, Joan (Levy), his
wife of 65 years, sons Craig (Ann),
George (Rafi) and Roy, grandsons
Michael, Dan and Brian, and an
extended family of relatives and
friends. Bernie maintained lifetime
friendships with childhood buddies
from West Philadelphia, many of
whom he survived and deeply
missed. Please direct contributions
to a charity of donor’s choice.
