Obituary

Sheldon Grad, age 69

Loving husband of Jane (nee Harris). Devoted father of Jacob (Lara) and Rachel. Very proud grandfather of Shane and Asher. Dear brother of Chuck (Paula) Grad and Gary ob'm (Linda) Grad. A Chicago native, Sheldon was a graduate of the University of Illinois - Chicago and received an MBA from Northwestern University. He was an accountant and came to own a successful regional real estate business, Allied Realty Corporation. He was appreciated by his business associates as much for his fairness as for his humor and congeniality. Active in Judaica, he made Aliyah several times. Nonetheless, his greatest fondness was clearly toward his family, among whom his generosity, critical thinking, love and kindness will be affectionately remembered. Graveside service Wednesday, 11AM, at Shalom Memorial Park, 1700 W Rand, Arlington Heights, 60077. Contributions in his memory may be made to Northwestern Hillel, Attn: Sara Kalish, 629 Foster St., Evanston, IL 60201. Phone 847.491.5717.
