JAY ROSEN

ROSEN JAY L. Of Audubon, PA left this leg of his journey on August 5, 2021. He was the son of Henry and Edith (Susskind) Rosen. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 57 years, Pearl (Pood) Rosen. He leaves behind to celebrate his large life his daughter, Susan, and son Daniel; his grandchildren Gwen, Joshua (Maegan), and Zachary (Amy); his sisters Carol Ostrow and Janet Chertkoff; many nieces and nephews; and a wonderful network of friends. "Jimmy" was a devoted family man and a huge lover of life. As an Eagle Scout he developed a respect for being outdoors which he passed onto his family during many camping trips to national parks throughout the country. He enlisted in the United States Navy, proudly served on the U.S.S. Intrepid, and frequently regaled his family and friends with stories of his time in the military. He was an avid reader and was always enjoying several books at a time. Dad started a poetry club at his retirement community (Shannondell), and its members thrilled him as much as the poetry. Dad was a big part of the Shannondell Readers Theatre and he was always a great performer – on stage and off! He was an active member of Keneseth Israel and relished learning Torah which prompted him to write a weekly D'Var for his fellow congregants and the many followers he gathered over the years. Dad took tremendous pride in this endeavor. Dad hopelessly cheered on the Phillies. He also loved the game of golf and continued golfing for as long as he was able. Dad was a very proud graduate of Central High School and Temple University, and he remained active in both schools throughout his life. For many years he met monthly with his Central buddies for lunch and laughter. Dad was the co-founder of Technical Advisory Service for Attorneys (TASA) and steered the company for over 65 years. He was extremely hard-working, very loyal, and ever-present to his business. In their retirement, our parents enjoyed wintering in Jekyll Island, GA and they had many happy times together. After Mom passed away, Dad became more involved in Temple Beth Tefilah Synagogue in Brunswick, GA and again he developed many new friendships. Dad was a huge lover of life always learning and always teaching. We have all been privileged to learn from him and to experience so many lessons and opportunities because of him. A huge piece of us is gone. And we will continue to honor him and make him proud by living and loving well. He constantly taught us to treasure life and hold close the ones you love. If you are so moved, take pause and raise a glass of fine scotch, a yummy milkshake, a delicious root beer float, or suck with glee on a Werther's hard candy! The burial will be private, and we will further celebrate his legacy at a later date. Contributions in his memory may be made to a charity that speaks to your heart. So be it. www.goldsteinsfuneral.com
