Although initially reluctant, when Euni laid eyes on the handsome cantor dressed head-to-toe in white at Rosh Hashanah services — she immediately flipped. "He looked positively stunning," she recalled. "And when I heard that voice, I was totally blown away. It was glorious." Three weeks later, she said, "I was wearing my little flashy ring that told the world, 'I think this guy is mine.' We've been true partners ever since." The Roses shared a 46-year mar- riage. And for most of those years, their other great partnership was with Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park, where he was cantor and she direct- ed the children's choir. Cantor Norman Rose, 86, of Southfield, died July 26, 2007, from diabetes complications. Cantor emeritus at the time of his death, he served the Reform congregation from 1972 to 2004. He was initially both cantor and director of educa- tion. His July 29 funeral was held at the temple, a second home for the Roses. Euni, who had a 1956 hit record with sister Eudi — "Tonight You Belong To Me" by the Tracey Twins — credits her husband with showing her how to teach music in the temple's Sunday school and how to conduct an orchestra. The sanc- tuary's choir loft is named for them. Music was Cantor Rose's passion ever since he was a boy singing with his father in synagogue choirs in Rochester, N.Y. His next stop was Curtis Institute of Music, a conservatory in Philadelphia, prior to joining the Army Air Corps in World War II. During the war, he was a radio operator and gunner on a bomber, flying 34 missions out of Italy. In recognition of his military service,17 honor guards from the Jewish War Veterans participated in his funeral. Cantor Rose earned two degrees from Eastman School of Music in Rochester. In 1949, he and nine other voice students received Italian government scholarships for study at La Scala Opera House in Milan. Two years into the program, the Korean War forced them home. Although Cantor Rose decided against an operatic career, he always performed Italian arias and folk songs. He took his experience in chazzanot to Hebrew Union College School of Sacred Music in Cincinnati and was ordained as a cantor-educator in 1956. He spent the next 11 years with Temple Israel in Akron and five more at Temple Beth Zion in Buffalo, N.Y., before moving to Michigan. Temple Emanu-El Rabbi Joseph Klein, who joined the congregation in 1997, noted the cantor's "reassur- ing presence ... the warm familiarity of his voice and the singular way he chanted our liturgy." In 2006, in celebration of his 50 years in the cantorate, Cantor Rose received an honorary doctor- ate in music from the American Conference of Cantors. Cantor Rose prepared scores of students to become bar and bat mitzvah, even adult b'nai mitzvah. Ferndale residents Frank Castronova and his wife, Gaye Tischler, are adults he helped through this rite of passage. "There was pure joy for him in teaching," said Castronova, recall- ing the cantor's excited shout of "Good boy!" to him upon his mas- tering of a difficult Torah passage. "Norman always had a big smile on his face when people succeeded." Cantor Rose was a humble man with little ego about him, added Castronova. "It was never the Norman Rose Show. Cantor Rose didn't want people to look at him on the bimah; he wanted them to sing with him." Off The Bimah Although Cantor Rose seemed quiet, he had a playful side. In his leisure time, a confident Cantor Rose did crossword puzzles — in ink. He was also a fine tennis player and had been a table-tennis champion in New York and Ohio. And the can-
