Classified Ad FLORENCE HASPEL ZEVE Died peacefully in her Oakland apartment May 2, 2019. She was born in Brooklyn, NY August 18, 1930, the youngest child of Martin and Anne Haspel, from Romania. Her family moved from Brooklyn to Danbury, Connecticut in 1931. Florence attended public schools in Danbury, graduating in 1948. She was the editor of the school newspaper, co-editor of the 1948 yearbook, a cheerleader and voted “most beautiful lips.” Graduated from the all women’s Russell Sage College (Troy, NY) with a B.A. in English, 1952. She met her husband-to-be in her junior year, at Synagogue during Rosh Hashanah services. Florence was a copy editor for Pellegrino and Cudahy Book Publisher in Manhattan and was proud of being an independent woman in NYC, having her own apartment. She married Harvey Zeve at the Hotel Ambassador in NYC, May 2, 1954. After their honeymoon, they moved to Youngstown, Ohio. Birthed David, 10 months. Her second son, Lincoln, was born 17 months later. They moved to Pittsburgh in 1959 and birthed Bradley in October. In 1978, Florence obtained her Masters Degree in Public Administration from GSPIA, University of Pittsburgh. She lived in Oakland for 52 years and in the 1970s, was president of the Shadyside Action Coalition and an active member of SNAP. Served as Executive Director of Western PA Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, and Executive Director Western PA Chapter of the Hemophilia Foundation. Was a longtime board member of Pittsburgh City Theater, and Sage Colleges. Florence had a zest for life and was active socially— a member of the Pittsburgh Golf Club, Duquesne Club, Concordia Club, Rodef Shalom, American Jewish Committee. She was diagnosed with MS in 1956 and refused to allow her life to be defined by it. Her hobbies included tennis, golf, skiing, attending theater and the Symphony, reading daily papers (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the late Pittsburgh Press, and NY Times), thinking about the next meal and what the family would have for dinner—she always made sure the table was set for breakfast before going to bed. She was a devoted Steelers fan, a season ticket holder since 1966. Florence was loved and appreciated for her wit and tenacity. She was a relentless advocate for education, women’s rights, government responsibility, plus proper grammar, etiquette and manners. She was a major supporter of the Sage Colleges, an early supporter of the Pittsburgh Promise and established the Zeve Family Foundation Scholarship at the Promise. Other organizations of significant interest included the Pittsburgh City Theater, Pittsburgh Symphony, WQED, Phipps Conservatory, Jewish Federation, Carnegie and Frick Museums. She was married 59 years until Harvey’s death in 2013, and passed away on what would have been the day of her 65th wedding anniversary. She is survived by her three sons, David, Lincoln (Deneice), and Bradley; seven grandchildren; two nephews (one passed); and two nieces. Services at Rodef Shalom Temple, 4905 Fifth Avenue (at Morewood) on Monday at 10 a.m. Visitation at Temple one hour prior to services, (9 - 10 a.m.). Interment Homewood Cemetery.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 2, Annual (1980) Latrobe LATROBE, PA.: CRADLE OF PRO FOOTBALL By Robert B. Van Atta John Kinport Brallier, who was to become nationally acknowledged as one of the first professional football players, was born at Cherry Tree, Pa., north of Indiana, Pa., Dec. 27, 1876, the son of Dr. Emanuel Brallier, a physician, and his wife, Lucy M. Kinport Brallier. His grandparents were from Alsace-Lorraine in Europe, accounting for the French-sounding name. As a boy, Brallier remembered having worked in a glass factory. His first recollection of football was in 1890, at the age of 13, when he played for the West Indiana Public School team. By 1892, he was captain and right halfback on the high school team as a sophomore, just before his 16th birthday. The year of 1893 saw the youthful athlete, while still attending the public high school, also “matriculating at Indiana Normal so I could play on the team.” The team won three of four games played that year, and among Brallier’s teammates was left guard Alex Stewart, future father of movie star Jimmy Stewart. Brallier quarterbacked the Normal team in both 1893 and 1894. His second year on the team found it winning only two of five games, but against much tougher opposition provided by college teams and teams of former college players. The fourth game that year was a 28-0 loss to Washington and Jefferson, but Brallier’s outstanding play was to have a major effect on his future. E. Gard Edwards, coach of the Wash-Jeff team, wrote from Pittsburgh to John Brallier, Dec.

    RICH JAMES H. A pioneer investor in radio, cable television, and private equity, a contemporary art collector, philanthropist, and World War II veteran died on Saturday, December 8, 2018 at home in Pittsburgh, at age 96. Loving husband for 64 years of the late Idamae Brody Rich and adored by his children and grandchildren, Jim was known to many as a brilliant investor with an intuitive sense of the future. He was a kind, generous man who exemplified a spirit of fairness and cared deeply for his family and his community. Until the last years of his life, Jim did not speak of the Air Medal he was awarded by the Allied Air Forces, nor of his harrowing experiences from ’44-’45 as a radio operator on converted DC-3 passenger planes in the Southwest Pacific. Prior to enlisting, he had wanted to become a professional pilot, and had learned to operate DC-3 instruments as a student at Boeing School of Aeronautics in Oakland, CA. A graduate of Taylor Allderdice High School, Jim attended Duquesne University while working evenings as overseer of attorneys who were paid by the WPA White Collar Project. The $100 a month job enabled him to get his studies done, and to purchase a Chevrolet for $750. In his first post-war career, as a printing broker, Jim negotiated for Pickwick Press to secure the contract for the local programming insert for TV Guide. When Pickwick Press started to fail, Jim studied a book on how to bid a printing job, purchased Pickwick for $1,000, assumed its debts, and re-negotiated a contract with TV Guide.
