Jerome Rosner

Jerome, born to Samuel and Rose Rosner, in Pittsburgh, PA, was an optometrist and a veteran of World War II as a member of the U.S. Army. He also taught at the University of Houston College of Optometry for 30 years and was named Professor Emeritus of Optometry in 2008. Through his practice of optometry and interest in helping children with learning difficulties, he published multiple books and founded two schools, Pace Academy in Pittsburgh and The Joy School in Houston.

Jerome is survived by his wife, Dr. Joy Rosner; four children, Joyce, Matthew, Michael, and Gregory; and two grandchildren, David and Zef. He was unfortunately preceded in death by his daughter, Carolyn.

Throughout his life Jerome focused on helping others and he will be missed greatly by many. His legacy, both personal and professional, will endure.
