KRAKOFF SENIOR DIRECTOR we remember & mourn MANDELL (BILL) BERMAN z'l One of the founding supporters of The Jewish Hospice & Chaplaincy Network Bill was a defining member of The Greatest Generation. He earned B.A. and M.B.A. degrees from Harvard University before serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, followed by an extraordinary career in the building industry. Bill cared deeply about the welfare of Jewish people in our community. Generations of students benefited from his profound vision, stewardship and philanthropy of local and national Jewish educational causes. We deeply appreciate his passion for helping the sick, the frail and those facing health crises. Bill's leadership and generosity helped create and sustain numerous institutions in our local Jewish community, including his beloved Congregation Shaarey Ze dek, and other causes throughout the world. His immeasurable legacy sets a high standard and example for future generations to follow. The Executive Committee, Board, Administration and Staff of THE JEWISH HOSPICE & CHAPLAINCY NETWORK offer wishes of comfort and heartfelt condolences to Bill's family: his loving wife of 66 years, Madeleine (Madge) Berman; his children Ann Berman Feld and Dr. Jon Berman; and grandchildren, Laurence Freedman, Sara Feld and Max Berman
