Susan Kantor, a Friendly Face at Chess Control, has Died

Susan was always a great pleasure to work with. I always considered her to be the most valuable employee of US Chess. She was so helpful and always diligent.

I’ll miss you Susan! Love to Susan and her family from Charlotte, NC

We will miss Susan. I am so sorry for her boys and their families and for Alan.

My deepest sympathies. May your memories of her love of you and of life help you during your time of mourning.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Susan! She always had a huge smile on her face every time I saw her. She was such a positive person! She will be missed a lot! May her memory be a blessing.

Somewhere is heaven, Harry Sabine is running a tournament and Susan is running the computer for him again. Tennessee Chess will miss her greatly.

She was always so very kind and patient. Rest in peace Susan.

My sincere condolences to her children and he husband Alen. God rest her in peace, she will be missed by never forgotten!

I'm so sorry for your loss, sir Alan praying for peace and comfort for the rest of the family

Dear Susan,
The world is depleted by your absence. Your kindness, caring, and subtle sense of humor will always be remembered. Our tears fall while heaven smiles. Love you, girl...running a tournament without your help? Please give God a nudge... Love Rachel

I am sudden to hear the news about the passing of Susan Kantor. She is a very helpful employee of the USCF . For sure we will all miss her, condolence to her family !!!

Very sad to hear of Susan's passing. She was a kind and familiar figure over the years. Many condolences from the Chasin family to hers.

We will all miss Susan. She was always a strong and positive member of the USCF team. I enjoyed working with her as a organizer and TD.

Thank You, Susan, for all your tireless work, your passion for helping others and your dedication to your many jobs.

I will miss you very much.

Rest In Peace, my friend.

Susan was always such a nice person. She will be missed greatly.

She loved the game of chess.

I wish to extend condolences from me and the Middletown Chess Club in Orange County, NY where the Kantors long resided.

Susan will be missed and the USCF will never be the same. Susan was super dependable and helpful and each every year I have lost count to the number of times she helped students from the Chess in the Schools program.

Thank you all for the many comments about Susan. She cared about the customers and bent over backwards to help everyone. Whether it was in Chess Control or on the phone it was important to keep people happy and satisfied. It makes me feel good to know wherever I go people ask about Susan and when I would tell her that she would just blow it off and say, "I am just doing my job." Modesty? I miss you and love you, Susan and so do your fans.

So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a great asset to US Chess.

Susan, was tremendously helpful, kind and upbeat in my deals with her over the past 10 years.

She will be dearly missed.

Sadly missed, you were so sweet to play my son, Griffy, when he had no other players, always in our memories

I am sorry to have heard this news so late. I hope she may rest in peace.
