Sheila, I just discovered that my dear friend and former associate Steve had passed away. My heart felt condolences. I worked with Steve for many years at Chemsearch and can say that I never met another guy quite like him. What a natural born sales person and leader he was. He never lacked for enthusiasm and throw that in with a sense of humor you were always entertained when around Steve. After working with him a while you understood why he was so successful at Chemsearch. I feel privileged to have known him. God Bless you friend. Jud Smith

It's sad but true, that I have learned more about my family via obituaries than in life. I am the oldest daughter of Gail Pitluk Shapiro, cousin of Sonny, who I never got to know well, unfortunately. Gail died on the 4th of January, 2019, and with her passed all of the memories of familial connections. I am sorry that they died with her, but such is life. Please accept my condolences. May Sonny's memory be a blessing to us all, and may he dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In mom's words: "Celebrate every good day".

Our condolences to Sheila and the Simkin family ...
Sonny and my husband, Sheldon , worked together at the NCH Corp for many years.
I always looked forward to the sales mtgs so that I spend time with both Sonny and Sheila ...
Sonny had a personality bigger than life with a great sense of humor and a heart of gold and we truly loved him !!
Over the past few yrs , we lost contact due to illness on both sides .
We will love and cherish the time we had together !
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sheila and family .

This is Steve Sidell, Sonny was a close friend of my older brother Barnett (Red) Sidell. I used to play softball with Sonny on Sundays when I was just a high school kid. He would pick me up every Sunday and I played with the older guys (like Sonny). It was a great time for me. Sonny was at our house on Coyle Ave in Rogers Park many times. Red and Sonny were good friends.
Sending my condolences to the entire family.
