LEDERMAN, Jan Craig, Ph.D., aka MN2B, aka Shapsa Chuna of Clearwater, FL, October 15, 2020.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Reuben Daniel Lederman and Audrey Whitman Lederman on October 8th, 1949, Jan grew up in West Miami, FL, earned Eagle Scout, graduated from Miami Coral Park Sr. High, became a brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi, and received his BA and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Florida. In his work as a volunteer at NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center, a Radio Operator at Emergency Management, a Clown at Comedy Connection Caring clowns, a Reiki Master at Healing Power of Reiki, a Sales Agent at eXp Realty, an Endowment Director at the Jewish Federation of Broward County, an Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee, a Psychology Professor at the University of Florida, a co-author of the Mission Serendipity series, and a Zumba instructor, to name a few of his interests and endeavors, Jan captured the attention and friendship of thousands, the majority with whom he continued to remain connected. He loved hiking and traveling with son Jonathan, playing the guitar, writing poems and songs, cooking vegan meals, and generally being a boss rambler. Avidly political, Jan deeply enjoyed communicating his passions with friends and family. He always provided a helping hand to anyone in need, was a master of high jinks and tomfoolery, an explorer of emotion, creativity, energy, and the earth, Jan loved life and will be dearly missed.
