| 1902 | New York Times August 14, 1985 CARL M. LOEB JR. DEAD AT 81; FOUNDER OF ANTICRIME GROUP By GEORGE JAMES Carl M. Loeb Jr., a prominent businessman and a founder of the National Crime Prevention Council, died yesterday at Greenwich (Conn.) Hospital after suffering a stroke. He was 81 years old. Mr. Loeb moved to La Quinta, Calif., several years ago but continued to maintain a summer home in Greenwich. Mr. Loeb joined the Climax Molybdenum Company, which later became AMAX Inc., in 1932. He served as a vice president from 1937 until his retirement in 1954. He was a director and, from 1960, a member of the executive committee until his death. He was also a limited partner in Loeb, Rhoades & Company, a brokerage and investment banking firm his father, Carl, had helped found, and which became part of the company now known as Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. A Reagan Choice for Panel Mr. Loeb, a former vice chairman of the board of the National Council on Crime and Delinquency, left that group in 1981 to help found the National Crime Prevention Council in 1982 and serve as its chairman. The Washington-based agency works closely with the Justice Department and the Advertising Council and uses as its ''spokesman'' a husky brown dog named McGruff that advises people to ''Take a bite out of crime.'' A son of Mr. Loeb, Peter, said President Reagan last week asked his father to serve on a new commission, the President's Child Safety Partnership. ''Perhaps his major interest was the plight of the average individual as a victim of crime,'' Peter Loeb said. Former Correction Official Former Mayor Robert F. Wagner appointed Mr. Loeb chairman of the first City Board of Correction in 1957. He served as president of the Community Council of Greater New York from the early 1950's to the early 1960's. He was also a former officer of the National Jewish Welfare Board, a former director of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, and a trustee of the Day Care and Child Development Council of America. Mr. Loeb received a bachelor's degree in 1926 from Princeton University, where he was an All-American basketball player. He earned a master's degree in metallurgical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1928. In addition to his son Peter, of New York City, Mr. Loeb is survived by his wife, Lucille, of La Quinta; a daughter, Constance Cohn of Seattle; another son, Carl M. 3d of New York City, and nine grandchildren. | Loeb, Carl Morris Jr. (I13)

| 1931 | No relation to the Rosenbaum family. He was "bought" to provide a husband for Carolyn ("Carrie"). Samuel went to New York to find Ludwig, and Louis, Goddie and Edwin were all required to come up with the purchase price, or dowry. Ludwig was a tailor, and took the dowry to open his own tailor shop in New York. In a short time, he went broke so the family brought Ludwig and Carrie to Kalamazoo and give him a job in the stock room at the factory. He was a kindly, loveable, ineffectual man. Some time later, Ludwig's brother, Adolph, arrived in Kalamazoo and went to work in the cutting room at the factory. He was a handsome man with rosy cheeks -- he died of "consumption" (TB). Adolph was quite a womanizer and reportedly screwed most of the younger single girls who worked in the sewing room. | Rosenbaum, Ludwig (I5046)

Known to many as Miss Frances, Frohsin came to Alexander City in 1935 to help her husband Ralph Frohsin, Sr. run his family's retail store. "She excelled in everything she did whether it was running the store, throwing a dinner party or tending to her garden," Virginia Bradshaw, long time friend of Frohsin, said. "She fit into the community beautifully." During her lifetime, Frohsin worked with the Red Cross for a number of years including volunteering with the Red Cross Motor Corps during World War II where she taught other women to drive ambulances. "She always looked beautiful, but she could get in the trenches and work hard when she needed to," Bradshaw said. Described as a "true southern lady," Frohsin enjoyed gardening and bird watching. "I always enjoyed being around her," Barbara Sokol said. "She radiated graciousness and was always a delight to be around." She also enjoyed playing golf and was a member of the Willow Point Ladies Golf Association. "She was an avid golfer," Sokol said. "I remember when I first came to town, I played with her." Frohsin was preceded in death by her husband and is survived by her three children, Carolyn Heller, Henry L. Frohsin and Ralph Frohsin, Jr. as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "I have known her all my life and I hope Alexander City is producing more people like her," Bradshaw said. "I hope the young people (of Alexander City) will have the chance to know someone like her." Frohsin donated her time freely working with the Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources overseeing the public welfare system. "She was very giving of her time," Jack Coley said. "She was a very fine person and I would say she was very beloved by all who knew her." Partial obituary: Published on February 2, 2005, Birmingham News (AL) FROHSIN, MRS. FRANCES KOCH FROHSIN, MRS.

As a girl of five, she raised money for the Red Cross to support the troops during WWI and while working as a Red Cross volunteer in New York during World War II she met her life long friend Margaret Loeb Kempner and her future husband Alan Kempner.

Her wit and wisdom are treasured memories and survive in all who were fortunate enough to know her well. She died on August 11, 2004, lucid till the end and joyously anticipating the journey ahead. She survived her son Peter, her daughter Shelley her ex-husband Alan Kempner and Phil Curtis. She is survived by her son Alan, her grandson Buck and a loving extended family that spans the nation.

| 1943 | Obituary Published in the East Valley Tribune on 7/8/2004. "Alan H. Kempner Jr. was a loving husband, father, and friend.He was a soft-spken gentleman of the old school; he was a man of articulate actions. He displayed his love for his family and friends everyday; with perceptive caring insights, shared humor, or moral support when needed. He was bright, well educated, and handsome; yet sincerely unpretentious. He enjoyed and cared for people from all walks of life and his friendships had no material bounds. Alan was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 26, 1922. He was the eldest of Alan Horace and Margaret Loeb Kempner's three sons; Alan, Carl, and Thomas. He was raised in New York and completed his degree in chemistry at Ohio Wesleyan. He served in the Navy during World War II. He came to Arizona in 1958 to attend Arizona State University where he completed his course work for a PHD in psychology. Alan was passionate about sports. He was an all-star halfback at Lawrenceville and a southpaw pitcher for Wesleyan. He was an accomplished tennis player but fell in love with golf. He always looked forward to the weekly reunion of his foursome and was delighted when he recently hit the ultimate shot, a hole-in-one. Beneath his even-tempered demeanor was a fervent, curious mind and the variety of his careers is a mere sampling of his interests: chicken farming in Connecticut, advertising executive, practicing psychologist, producer of children's television programs, platics manufacturer, author of several books, realtor, and prudent investor. Alan was a conscientious citizen and a stalwart Republican. He ardently expressed his concerns in frequent letters to the editor and received the Golden Pen Award for the quality of his contributions. He was a patron of the arts and a major fundraiser for the fledgling Stagebrush Theatre. He generously donated his time every week to both the Red Cross and to making deliveries for Meals on Wheels. He was a founding member of a charades group that met for over 35 years. Alan battled cancer for 16 years with dignity and grace. He passed away in his home surrounded by those who loved him on June 18, 2004. His humor and wisdom will be dearly missed by his family. He is survived by his wife, Rosemary Kempner; his brother, Thomas Kempner and his wife, Nan; his sons, John Randel and Alan Kempner; his daughter, Nancy Harlow; his daughter-in-law, Cynthia Kempner; his sister-in-law, Doris Kempner; his grandchildren, Ashley Kempner, Matthew Harlow, and Buck Kempner; and his friend of over 55 years, Sandra Kempner. A memorial service will be held on July 10, 2004, at 10:00 AM in the chapel of the Valley Presbyterian Church. Donations in Alan's memory can be made to Hospice of the Valley, Red Cross, and Meals on Wheels. Arrangements by Messinger Indian School Mortuary.
