We are sad to announce that, on January 27, 2023 we had to say goodbye to Aaron Temkin of Washington, District of Columbia, born in Morristown, New Jersey. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Maxwell Temkin and Mary Temkin; his former wife Miriam Hannah Temkin; and his sisters, Erna Hornstein and Alice Green.
He is survived by: his wife Gladys Sharnoff Temkin; his brother Marcus Temkin (Eveline); his children, Jeannie Temkin, Philip Temkin (Deanna), Alexandra Slade (Benjamin), Jonathan Sharnoff (Katherine) and Elena Sharnoff (Lance); his grandchildren, David Temkin (Mariah), Becki Shah (Nitesh), Marcus Sharnoff, Kaleigh Sharnoff, Rose Slade, Philip Slade and Daniel Slade; his great grandchildren, Clark Temkin and Kayden Shah; and his former wife Miriam Schachter.
Aaron retired from NASA in 2005, but continued as an emeritus scientist, working with colleagues and co-authoring several papers until the spread of COVID forced NASA to limit employee access.
In Lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to the charity of your choice; Aaron supported many charitable organizations.
