WALTER KAHN Obituary

KAHN--Walter.

The Yeshiva University family is deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Walter Kahn, Z"l, a revered member of the Queens Jewish Center and the Queens community who was widely admired for his support of Jewish education. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to his beloved wife, Grace, and their devoted children: Nathan (and Sandy) Kahn, a member of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Board of Overseers and YU Benefactors; Simon (and Robin) Kahn; Vivian (and Gerry) Adler; and his adoring grandchildren. The entire Kahn family emulates the noble ways of their deeply esteemed cherished parents in their respective communities. May they find comfort among all who mourn for Zion and Jerusalem. Richard M. Joel, President, Yeshiva University Norman Lamm, President Emeritus

Dear Grace,
You and Walter have been in my thoughts and prayers.
There are happy memories...the Kahn family occasions...reunions, weddings, bar mitzvahs and, of course, the summers at Grossingers come to mind.
My family and I send our deep sympathy to you and your family.
Love, Roz, Brian & David Gitt & family (Kat, Ilsa and George)
