In 1978, Stan came to Ocean City, first working for the Carousel Hotel then The Sheraton, and back to the Carousel until he retired in 2015. In 1979, Stan and Veronica became parents of their precious son, Paul Matthew Kahn.

He is preceded in death by brothers, Myron (Helaine) and Howard (Dorothy).
The Talmud teaches that even a truly righteous person must eventually die as death is inevitable. God however does not want to let the truly righteous leave this world, but rather wants to cling on to every second of having such a person on earth. When such a person’s name is not written in the Book of Life for the next year to come God waits until the very last second until the New Year begins, and only then allows the Angel of Death to descend. Thus a truly righteous person breaths his or her last breath and their soul departs on Rosh Hashana, the New Year.
Services were live streamed on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 11 a.m. Interment with Military Honors followed at Beth Israel Cemetery in Salisbury. A Shiva service for Stanley was held on Zoom on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. and will be held Saturday at 7 p.m.

Matt Cooper
A visitation will begin at 2 p.m. with a service to follow at 3 p.m. Matt loved his home, so this is a fitting tribute in true Matt fashion. The family asks that you dress very casual, with bright, vibrant colors, just as he always did. This celebration is for all of us as we remember his smile, his laugh, and his loud, fast-talking voice. As always, at their home, there will be plenty of food and drink available. Many memories will be shared with everyone. There is no doubt we will hear him say “Are you kidding me.”
