Rolfe Singerman, aged 87, of Upper Sandusky, OH, died June 29, 2024, at the Westbrook Assisted Living and Memory Center. Mr. Singerman was born March 27, 1937 in Cleveland, OH to Bernard and Ruth (Greetham) Singerman. He married Dona M. Fatibeno on January 30, 1960. They remained married for 24 years. Rolfe passed peacefully the same day after enjoying a nice luncheon and glass of wine at a local Upper restaurant with family. Mr. Singerman is survived by his children, Camille Swartz-Upper Sandusky, OH, and David Singerman-Jupiter, FL; grandchildren Connor Swartz-Upper Sandusky, Logan and Rylee Singerman-Jupiter, FL. Also surviving are his siblings; Ava Singerman-Brunswick, OH, Mike Singerman-Shaker Heights, OH, Charles (�Butch�) Necker-Phoenix, AZ, Tim Necker-Parma and Pam Bender-Brecksville, OH. Rolfe was a 1955 graduate of Cleveland Heights H.S. and subsequently attended Western Reserve University for both his Undergraduate and Master�s Degrees in Art Education and received his Teaching Certificate from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He was hired shortly thereafter by Painesville City Schools where he would spend the next 30 years and completing his career at Harvey High School. Teaching art may have been Rolfe�s primary profession early on, but it was his passion for photography and running that would really take him places. Rolfe took on the duties of the school yearbook and ensured quality productions every year which also led him to taking photos of local high school sports, and then acting on the advice of a friend took up wedding photography. Over the ensuing decades Rolfe would photograph over 800 weddings and in each one Rolfe usually managed to capture a singular, special moment that most wedding photos somehow miss; a spontaneous mix of action, affection, laughter, love and respect from those faces in the moment. Rolfe had an eye for inspiration and timing. Rolfe became a long-distance runner who participated in numerous 5 and 10K races and he ran in the 1979 Cleveland Marathon. Rolfe was the Cross-Country coach at Harvey High School and produced a pamphlet with illustrations teaching long-distance running techniques. In 2001, Rolfe moved to Cumberland, MD starting a new chapter in his life. In Cumberland, Rolfe soon began showcasing his talent displaying his new landscape photos at various art exhibits in picturesque Western Maryland, and right away received accolades and awards. In 2005, Rolfe was asked by a local author to collaborate on a cookbook, entitled the �Washington Street Cookbook� which featured the many of the beautiful and incredibly diverse architecturally designed homes lining the famous Washington Street in Cumberland, as photographed by Rolfe. The proceeds benefited the Washington Street Association. After completing this book, Rolfe studied residential architecture even more and would eventually write and illustrate his own Handbook of Washington Street Architecture in 2017 that provided the reader with a simple guidebook of the historic homes and descriptions of their particular architectural aspects, influences and time periods. Rolfe was an active member in his community always devoting as much volunteer time as he could for his church; the First Presbyterian Church; the Alleghany Arts Council; the Alleghany County Museum; the Washington Street Library and the American Red Cross. Rolfe helped out a local European pastry shoppe designing their menu and illustrating it. Rolfe generously opened his home up to traveling artists from around the world through the World Artists Experiences program and even designed their promotional posters. Rolfe will be fondly remembered for his endless curiosity, dry humor, respect for all things Art, Scottish dancing and never running on empty! A celebration of life service for Rolfe Singerman will be announced at a later date.
