As Head of School at The Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy(Akiba), it was very sad to hear of Bill's death. Bill and Joanne were great friends of Akiba. Bill and Joanne's kids went to Akiba with my sister-in-law Lisa Levin '74, they were mentors of mine and my husband's at Camp Ramah and Joanne was a valued member of my Board when I was President of Federation's Women's Division. With Bill's death, the Greater Philadelphia Jewish Community, along with our community in Israel, has lost the other half of the Dynamic Chertok Duo!

My deepest condolences to the entire Chertok family on the passing of your father and grandfather. Bill was an outstanding leader in the former EPA and Midlantic Regions of the United Synagogue who seldom missed a Board meeting and who was a mentor to all of us in leadership positions. His boundless enthusiasm for Conserative Judaism was legendary and will be sorely missed. May his memory always be a blessing.

It is with great sadness that I heard today about the loss of your dad. I will always remember our "grueling " tennis matches together between each other in the hot days of summer when he was so kind to let me stay the summer at your house and truly feel like one of the family. I have always remembered that regardless how busy he was that he always made time for me, a memory that I always cherished. He was an extraordinary individual , always looking after those he loved, and when I think of him the words that always comes to mind is kindness and sweetness . He will truly be missed by all , my sincere condolences

Bill and Joanne were wonderful friends from the first moment we moved to Coatesville 54 years ago. I was amazed at the energy he had in pursuing charitable ends. Even at the last Jewish Federation phonathon, he was there with his walker, making calls all morning and afternoon. He was the model citizen, father, husband, and friend to all.

Mr Chertok always had an idea to improve Coatesville....maybe we didn't always agree with him but you had to admire him and we did. Our sympathy to the Chertok family.
