Morton Funger, 92, of Potomac, MD died peacefully in his sleep on Friday, January 6, 2023 , surrounded by his children who adored him. Morty was born June 19,1930 in Washington, DC to Betty and Moe Funger and graduated from George Washington University. Morty always said he knew a good thing when he saw it. On a summer day when he was 15, he met Norma Lee Cohen and that was the beginning of their 70-year marriage. It was a partnership that brought blessings in many ways. He was successful in Washington, DC real estate development as a principal of Community Builders, OFC Company, Condur Development and Community Realty Company Inc. Morty supported many charitable and philanthropic organizations including: Trustee Emeritus, George Washington University, Board of Directors of Medstar Georgetown University Hospital, Board of Directors Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Trustees Council of the National Gallery of Art, President of the Apartment and Office Building Association, member of both YPO and CEO, as well as many Jewish organizations. Morty was an avid tennis player, art collector, world traveler and reluctant golfer, who loved anything related to aviation. If you were to ask him what he was most proud of and what were his greatest treasures, he would list his wife Norma Lee, who preceded him in death, and his four children: Lydia (Bill) McClain, Melanie (Paul) Nichols, Keith (Mauri) Funger and the late W. Scott (Holly) Funger. Those children showered him with the joy of ten grandchildren: Zachary, Spencer, Caitlin, Teddy, Haley, Sam, Sawyer, Celeste, Nick and Amanda, and four great grandchildren. Morty was a humble, kind and gentle man, known for his integrity. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. Memorial Service, Sunday, January 22, 2023 - 11 a.m. at National Memorial Park Chapel, 7482 Lee Hwy, Falls Church, VA.
