A man of deep generosity, Sheldon had a charitable heart and contributed liberally to his synagogue and to Masonic charities. He believed strongly in giving back and supporting causes that strengthened his community and helped those in need.
Above all, Sheldon was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and family man. He is survived by his beloved wife, Suezanne; his daughter, Katrina, and her husband, Charles; his son, Brent and his wife Jeannie Berkman; and his five cherished grandchildren, who were a constant source of joy and pride.
