in Philadelphia until 1969, when
they moved their growing family
over the city line to Bala Cynwyd.

They were virtually inseparable
for well over 50 years. In addition
to raising her family, Selma taught
psychology at Community College
of Philadelphia and had a career
as a researcher. She was an avid
reader and writer, authoring four
mystery novels set in Hawaii. Sel-
ma and Edgar traveled widely as a
couple, visiting Hawaii (a favorite
destination), Puerto Rico, Alaska,
Montana, Washington, and other
locales in the United States. Prior to
her marriage, Selma also traveled
to Israel (where she witnessed one
session of Adolf Eichmann’s trial)
and across Europe. Fluent in Rus-
sian and French, Selma loved mu-
sic and was an accomplished pia-
nist and cellist. Among other efforts
supporting the arts, she co-founded
the community Merion Musical So-
ciety orchestra and band and con-
tinued to lead the organization for
over a decade. Selma wrote for the
Main Line Life newspaper, where
her articles won several awards.

She was outgoing and personable
and enjoyed friendships with peo-
ple she interviewed in her travels,
among them a mayor of Honolulu,
a governor of Alaska, Secretary
of State Alexander Haig, Senator
Arlen Specter, and (perhaps her
most treasured encounter) actor
Robert Wagner. In lieu of flowers,

Robert H., May 16, 2022 of Glad-
wyne, PA. Beloved husband for
nearly 52 years of Diane (nee
Abramson); loving father of Carrie
(Matt) Pestronk and Benjamin (Ra-
chel) Gross; adoring poppy of Max,
Zac, Lilly, and Sylvie; and devoted
brother-in-law of Debi Abramson.

ment for Bob were held Thursday,

Lillian C Gross and Louis H Gross,
Bob grew up in the Wynnefield sec-

Central High School, the 211, and
Temple University Class of 1964.

After his education, Bob joined
his father in commercial real es-
tate development, expanding and
growing the business for almost 40
years. Outside of his career, Bob
was focused on his family, charita-
ble causes, and his beloved Tem-
ple Owls basketball teams. When
people think of Bob they smile, re-
calling some funny story or antic of
his. His happy place was the quiet
of his office, the crackle of the fire,
and his animals nearby. Whether
enjoying oysters in Nantucket or
savoring a LaCollina meal, he en-
joyed feeding body and soul in the
company of those whom he loved.
