so Malaysia this is a tribute to the
shama of Mrs Rahul Stillman
she was known as Rocky
I met her in the late 70s and early 80s
when I
was in California
and then later when Ashley has to Marin
County from 84 to 92. I met her then and
then even later anyway I knew her
and
she and her husband
came to California I believe at the end
of at 69 I believe 68 69 something like
that
and they were from the first three
took to Calif brought to California
around a 1110 Rabbi Stillman over sholem
and Rabbi Schwartz Lambert Schwartz
Oliver
Rocky and
being the wife of stool we called them
stool snowman still
my Impressions were that she wasn't like
you know a wife of the husband and he's
you know
the main schlier she was a main shlucha
she was like a man I just tell you
honestly she was such a doer I remember
in Chabad house and this was in the days
when she worked with Robert cunan for
the Telethon and for events
she was such an organizer
she was like rabikunan's right-hand man
even though she was a woman
she was still
they didn't have children to Stillness
for many years Hashem
Hashem bless them that wonderful
daughter who was herself today
grandchildren
and
in California that is
when you look back at a person's life
you think about their accomplishments
later on when she and her husband
weren't working any longer for her for
abikurin it didn't stop them from doing
the same things and even more she was
involved as a party planner for many
hadigas and many Chabad events and she
also taught them baseball in the high
school I believe
taught
just recently my nieces was in her class
she taught Russ
and I think she taught them a week ago
Friday and they they were in middle and
she said we'll finish it this this past
week
and Friday night she went to sleep and
she never woke up
she had What's called the mises nishikin
a kiss of death type of
passing
which is very special it's brought in
various places that this type of Misa
this type of passing is a very very
special way I mean of course you know
we're sorry and
it's passed away at 75 she was a
relatively young and vibrant I mean that
relative she was young and vibrant
and she was
she grew up in East Flatbush where my
parents lived from when I was born till
the 1970 and my mother-in-law show them
and her mother rabbit some bukit
she was a daughter of Rabbi Robinson
bukit
Shiva in Ocean Parkway and his wife was
from Uruguay and she spoke Spanish and
my wife my mother grew up in the Costa
Rica so they had an affinity so my
mother remembers I remember my mother
telling me about the rocky Stillman the
other the oldest daughter of Robert
bucket I remember that so she grew up in
home she grew up of course in Pacifica
and with the red during the
60s
50s 60s
and she lived the dream of being going
ashwich to UCLA to to
Westwood to the 60s and the 70s everyone
knows the heydays of Westwood
I was there one time for a Shabbos and
Friday night coming back from school I
couldn't move feels full of people
outside
it was like a hot spot you know
and
she gave Chabad
of California
she gave them a busis
a base a foundation because as much as
Robert cunan was the the leader and the
one in charge and the one you know
another habaras another habaras you need
people who facilitate all those great
inspirational ideas
Stillman was his
facilitator I saw my own eyes really
and without without him without her
robekuna would be bereft during those
days later when his children grew up and
became available to help him so
he had his children and has his children
Hashem to help him do whatever they
they're doing over there for you this
guy
but in my days in the 70s
and the V8 in early in in the 80s this
wasn't the case and it was Mrs Stillman
Rocky Stillman who
put in a in a sense on the map
at a very crucial time also at that time
Rebecca was in great debt and and she
had to you know balance many many issues
