Condolences to the family of Chain Walne on October 14. Born in Poland in 1931, Chaim navigated Europe during WWII, finding his home in Israel in 1947 where he fought from Israel’s War of Independence through the Six Day War. Alongside his wife Miriam and daughter Iris, he moved to NYC in 1968 where he continued his life of giving - always lending a hand to others, offering the heartiest of laughs, or gifting his love to family. He is survived by Miriam, Iris and Jon, and grandsons Josh and Alex, and Alex’s fiancé Danielle.
In lieu of flowers, please consider continuing his legacy and his love for Israel with donations to American Friends of Magen David Adom.
