duce extraordinary results.

called “Senior Friendship Club,”
composed of retired Jewish peo
ple, and Harry Rose soon had the
members jumping.
Not frenetically jumping, or
hap-hazardly, but constructively
with the feeling of being again
in the communal swim. The
members took a leadership in
the promotion of new facilities
for the St. Petersburg Com
munity Center. They directed
specific projects to charity and
to games and soon developed a
direction which spread far and
near throughout Florida and into
many communities of the South.
One reason was the vivacious
column Mr. Rose produced for
this newspaper. It contained a
feeling of intimacy which in

lesser hands might have been
regarded as gossip, but in his
capable hand seemed a special
kind of attention—even regard
and love.
So popular did his column be
come that individuals mentioned
in his column seemed to take
on a sectional flair and even
fame. Take Jennie Tinkel, who
played the piano of course, and
others whose names and club ac
tivities seemed to have relation
ship.
Apparently, Mr. Rose started
the day by making the rounds
of the St. Pete hospitals, so de
tailed seemed his reports about
who was sick and who was con
siderably better though company
still wasn’t welcome.
Indeed, he even made retire
ment in St. Pete seem a very
desirous status. Visitors to the
community felt this special Rose
generated spirit as well.
He was one of the Senior
Friendship Club founders a past
president, producer of annual
shows, organizer of an orchestra
and handled all publicity.
As historian, he collected news
connected with the club mem
bers and completed over seven
scrap books of the group’s varied
interests and activities, so many
of which he helped promote and
inspire.
As a violinist and singer, he
voluntarily entertained at Bay
Pines Veterans’ Hospital for the
Jewish War Veteran sponsored
Christmas show, the Masonic
Home for the Aged and the Chil
dren’s Hospital in St. Peters
burg.
He was also a Mason and had
served in the U.S. Militia during
World War I.
Survivors include his wife
Beth, a son Michael, a daughter
Mrs. Bette Schacter; a niece, and
five grandchildren.
The family has suggested that
all donations to his memory be
given to the Sr. Friendship Club
of St. Petersburg.
His columns were weekly
gems of special appeal to many
readers, most of them far, far
away from any St. Petersburg
affinities. They were as much a
part of the Monday mail, as the
scores of other items that ar
rived regularly the early part of
the week.
Last summer, the faithful col
umnist began to miss his regu
larity and for several months
there was a long pause while he
recuperated from a heart attack.
He seemed to have bested
this illness and the octorgenerian
resumed his columns. The last
one appeared on October 9, four
days after his death on October
6.
