EDWARD, 94, of Elkins Park, Pa,
quietly passed away at the home
on August 24th, 2022 .He was the
son of Abraham and Jenny Gor-
don. Loving husband of 70 years
of the late Charna Janet Gordon(
nee Korhan), father of Jeffrey (Su-
san), Harris(Carol) and Mitchell.

Grandfather of Chad(Abbey), Todd
(Ashley), Dana(Brian), Amanda
(Andrew), Jessica(Anthony), and
Heather. Great-grandfather of Aus-
tin, Sage, Brayden, Landon and
Liam. Dad was born during the de-
pression, and things were so bad
they could’t afford to give him a
middle name. He had to provide for
his family at an early age and could
not persue his dream of college
even with scholarships and high
grades. He went into the plumbing
business with his father, who need-
ed his help. Later became a builder
of custom homes in the area, then
worked with his son Mitchell at Star
Plumbing until he was 90. He had
hands of gold and whatever he
touched was done meticulous and
perfect. His number one priority
was to his family, and even after the
passing of his love of his life, “Cha
Cha”, four years ago, he knew his
family still needed him and always
there to solve any problem. He
was a member of Shekinah Lodge
246. He rests in peace in Montifiore
Cemetery. KAPLAN
