JONATHAN ARANOFF Obituary

ARANOFF--Jonathan, M.D.

We record with profound sorrow the death of Jonathan Aranoff, M.D., age 58, on April 27, 2015, after a long illness. Dr. Aranoff was an anesthesiologist in cardiacbypass surgery, at the Manhattan V.A., for over twenty-five years. He is survived by his devoted wife, Susana Krausz Aranoff, his loving sons, Akiva, Ben, and Daniel, his mother Freda Appleman Aranoff, and his sisters, Shera Aranoff Tuchman and Gaya Aranoff Bernstein. He is also mourned by his brothers-inlaw, Lewis Bernstein and Alan Tuchman, his loving nieces and nephews, and his large extended family, all of whom benefited from his brilliant business acumen and guidance, which was always accompanied by unquestionable ethics and a self-deprecating sense of humor. He will be profoundly missed. May his memory be a blessing and may his soul be bound in everlasting life.

Dear Bereaved:
I was very saddened to learn about Jonathan's death. I can't express how stunned I was to hear the news. I grew up with Jonathan, Shera and Gaya and spent much time with Freda and Harry in Shenandoah. From pushing him in his baby carriage to learning chess from him when he was six years old, watching him grow up, attending his wedding and family affairs, Jonny was clever, kind, talented with a great sense of humor and wit. I will treasure these memories. Margie joins me in expressing our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Love,
Ron

I remember Jonathan as a whiz kid who at the age of six could recite all the state capitols. He was brilliant!
