STUART SCHIMMEL Obituary

SCHIMMEL--Stuart B. The Council of the Grolier Club is deeply saddened to learn of the death of fellow member and former Councilor Stuart B. Schimmel. A Grolier member since 1961, Stuart served on the Grolier Club Council from 1972 to 1986, chairing committees on Audit, Public Exhibitions, Special Functions, and Finance. Exhibitions from his personal collections of Literary Forgers and Forgeries (1961) and Collectors in Fiction (1994), and his curatorial role in shows of artwork from the New Yorker (1974), and New York in literature (1978), represent just a few of his activities in the world of books, and his knowledge and enthusiastic presence will be sorely missed. We join with his many friends and colleagues in extending heartfelt sympathy to his wife, Caroline. Eugene S. Flamm, President

Dear Caroline,
So so sorry to learn this evening of Stuart's passing away. We know of his various health issues in the past decade, but from my earliest memories in the world of collectible books Stuart was there as a benevolent advisor. We used to speak regularly at various book fairs and in the early days of my own Grolier Club membership. I never wanted to intrude, but I always admired him for his knowledge and his kindness towards young people like myself. I kept thinking one day we would get to talk again, but it never happened ... at least not yet. Maybe eventually. Dennis joins me in sending you our heartfelt sympathy and support of friendship. Our prayers are with you.
