Marvin "Marv" Willerman

Marvin Willerman, 90, of Lincolnwood and formerly of Chicago, passed away in his home on November 18, 2018 surrounded by his family. Marv was the beloved husband of Barbara (nee Bahcall) for sixty-one years, the loving father ("Daddio") of Karen Schmidt (Jeffrey Mark Schuster), James (Deanna) Willerman and Keith (Sheila) Willerman, and dearest grandfather ("Papa") of Jordan (Alexandra) Schmidt, Danielle Willerman, Blake Willerman, Ethan Schmidt, Aaron Schmidt, and Alec Willerman. Cherished brother of the late Ben, Oscar, and Lee Willerman and caring uncle to their children. Ever the intellect, Marvin was a retired professor of Education Administration at Northeastern Illinois University, published author, and formerly a beloved science teacher to many high school students with whom he kept in contact until his passing. He was a longtime handball enthusiast and was often in the crossfire of political and locker-room debate, meeting weekly with his long-time buddies. Marv will be lovingly remembered as an avid reader, writer, and scholar and will be missed by all those who knew and admired him. Memorial Services to be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Marv's honor to a charity of your choice.
