The Raphelson's were my next door neighbors in Cinnaminson for at least 30 years. What a wonderful family. These pictures bring back such nice memories! I remember Mort as being such a kind, funny and warm man, dedicated to his family and his loving wife, Helen. My thoughts are with the family.
Thoughts and prayers are with the Raphelson Family in this time of sorrow.

Mort.... Although saddened by your passing, you will always bring a smile to my face when I think of you. While in some ways you presented yourself as the "typical old man" (die-hard Phillies fan and family man), I came to know you as a well educated, hard working man who humbly shared his many life experiences with me. You will always be my friend. It was an honor and a pleasure to have known you. God bless you.
