Jerome Morenoff of Bethesda, MD passed away on Sunday, Aug. 29, 2021 at the age of 84. Beloved husband of Andrea, devoted father of Jeffrey (Soni), Reyna (Mike), Adam, Deana (Michael) and a feisty Bichon named Romeo; loving grandfather of Maia, Anabelle, Sienna, and Lucinda. Born and raised in The Bronx and schooled at Columbia and GW, he achieved advanced degrees in Law and Engineering. With the publication of his first book, “World Peace through Space Law,” Jerry became the first leading authority on designating and regulating laws regarding aerospace and satellites orbiting the Earth. He served his country and community in numerous capacities (US Navy, Bethesda Fire Department, Green Acres School, BCC Chamber of Commerce Chair, Commission on Aging, to name a few). He ran three successful international businesses and was deeply invested in youth theater education (Imagination Stage) and producing groundbreaking theater from Harlem to Norfolk. And yet, despite manifold interests and accomplishments, his true passion was his family.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, September 1, 12:00 PM at Congregation Har Shalom, 11510 Falls Rd, Potomac, MD 20854; with interment to follow at King David Memorial Gardens in Falls Church, VA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Imagination Stage in Bethesda, or the Bethesda Fire Department.
