S. TY - Age 94, of Elkins Park, son of Gimbel
and Gertrude Steinberg, and brother of
Lenore
Alfred) Bernstein who both prede-
ceased him. Survived by his adored wife of
69 years, Marj orie, sons Michael
Tammy) and Gary
Amy) . Also survived by grandchil-
dren, Jason, Aaron, Jacob, Laura, Dylan,
and Ethan as well as great-grandchildren
Brody, Charlotte, Caleb, Maya, and Jordana.

Raised in Oak Lane, graduating from Central,
Class 185 and proudly served in the Navy as
a Pharmacist Mate. Graduated from Temple
University and after
obs with Food Fair, his
own appliance sales company, and National
Cash Register and at the urging of his father-
in-law Mottie,
oined Buten Paints, heading
sales and later becoming President of the
30-store chain operation.

Besides his devoted family life, the most im-
portant part of his life was his philanthropic
involvement. First, co-founding the B’nai
Brith Adelphi Lodge, and from there be-
came involved in The Federation of Jewish
Agencies, Israel Bonds, United Way, Jewish
Community Centers, Congregation Adath
Jeshurun, Golden Slipper Club & Camp
Charities, Philadelphia Geriatric Center
Abramson Senior Care) , and Moss Rehab.

He served each of these organizations as a
Vice President, President, or Chairman re-
ceiving so many accolades for his tireless
involvement over the years. So many of
his deepest friendships had been nurtured
through his charitable efforts, but he felt that
he received much more than was given in
so many ways. Ty led Wednesday morning
Minyan services at Adath Jeshurun for 52
years - a record that will unlikely ever be
s rpassed. He en oyed fishing on his oat,
The Red Snapper, named after Marge. Ty
worked out three days a week into his 90’s
and could be seen on his bike on the board-
walk at the shore every weekend, until a fall
the end of 2021, which ultimately led to his
passing. He was widely loved and admired
by so many long-term friends, neighbors,
business associates, those involved with
communal activities, and especially by family.

Contributions may be made to Congregation
Adath Jeshurun’s
Minyan Fund” or to that of
the donor’s choice. We pray that Ty’s soul be
bound up in the bond of eternal life. May his
memory inspire blessing after blessing.
