Obituary
David J. Schusteff, EdD, 71, beloved husband of Sandra, nee Kalika, for 43 wonderful years; loving father of Noah (Alison) Schusteff and Lia Sutton; cherished grandpa of James, Ethan and Jacob…
Felled by COVID-19, David was honorable, authentic, and the rock of his family. Despite facing many health problems, including the loss of his eyesight, David maintained his down-to-earth personality and intelligence. He was loved by his family and friends who will miss the ever-present twinkle in his eye, his boisterous laugh, and sharp wit…
David was a highly respected mentor to countless teachers and students throughout his lifelong career at Niles Township High School District #219 and the Fasman Yeshiva High School. From his first job as a biology teacher and football/wrestling coach to assistant superintendent, he was dedicated to doing the most good for the greatest number of students.
Published in the Chicago Tribune
“The world is a better place because of Dave. He was a person people respected because of the respect he showed others.”
