IN MEMORIAM

Our classmate,  RONALD S. COHEN,  passed away on June 15, 2010. He was a pharmacist and resided in Plymouth Meeting. He was the husband of JUDITH (Nee GELB); father of SUZANNE ARONSON (LAWRENCE); brother of GILDA WEISS and BARBARA WEINBERGER and grandfather of BENJAMIN and LINDSAY. Contributions in his memory may be made to Penn Hospice at Rittenhouse 1800 Lombard Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19146 or Abramson Center for Jewish Life 1425 Horsham Road North Wales, Pennsylvania 19454

Ron was a truly great guy.  We shall miss him.  Fond memories are wonderful things, but never enough.
