The 243 Foundation for Seth Dembowitz

03

February

2/3/2008 Update:

In case anyone is wondering what the “243″ stands for, it’s Seth’s pledge number at his fraternity “Phi Delt.” The number meant a lot to him, and he used it very often. So the family thought it was an ideal name for the foundation in his name.

2/2/2008:

The family of Seth Dembowitz, the man who died in Tuesday’s fire at 1203 Washington Street, has established The 243 Foundation in his honor. The 243 Foundation is a charitable fund to promote fire safety and awareness.

Donations can be sent to:

The 243 Foundation
c/o Richard F. Michaelson, Esq.

Philadelphia, PA 19103

Additionally, services for Seth will be as follows:

Sunday, February 3 at 12:30pm

Levine’s Funeral Home
4737 Street Road
Trevose, PA 19053

The burial will take place immediately thereafter at:

I certainly don’t mean to rehash the horrible tragedy that Seth and his family have gone through, but i just read xax’s comment for the first time today and I wanted to mention that i, too, wonder why Seth’s roommate was not more thoroughly investigated. The combination of Seth’s roommates attitude and how not many questions were answered as to the start of the fire have never sat well with me either.

I lived in the building and wound up walking around with his roommate trying to find Seth that night. The roommate wasn’t home at the time of the fire and was desperately trying to find him that night as he was worried.

Unless, there was a 3rd roommate you can lay this put this conspiracy theory out to pasture. It’s cruel and untrue.
