The last paragraph is germane to our cause
https://obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/alan-tepper
Alan Michael Tepper, 79 years old, passed away peacefully in Mount Holly, NJ on August 31, 2024. He was born in Philadelphia to Ida and Rubin Tepper. Alan was a proud and well-loved graduate of Northeast High School class of 62. He still has many NEHS friends and to this day is considered the glue that holds the class together. It is a class like no other. A graduate of Temple University, he practiced law most of his life including serving as the National Executive Director of the Tau Epsilon Rho Law Society. In addition, he has fond memories of selling ice cream for Jack and Jill, being King Demo Man at Trader Joes and substitute teaching at Hainesport Public Schools. Alan was a Philly sports fanatic. He bleeds green in the fall, orange in the winter and red in summer. He was also well known for being a guy who never missed a meal. A true Mensch until the end.
He leaves behind his children: Brian (Veronica), Scott, Larry (Jill), and Shayna; grandchildren: Catherine, Sol, Sydney, and Riley. He will be missed by all.
In lieu of flowers, Alan has strongly requested that any donations and your vote in November go to Kamala Harris for President.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
