Sherwin Zuckerman

Sherwin Zuckerman, 78, passed away on December 4, 2025. Born in Chicago to William "Babe" and Mildred Zuckerman (nee Izenman), Sherwin grew up in a close and loving family that shaped the values he carried throughout his life.

Sherwin was devoted to his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Sheri Zuckerman (nee Teichner), his children Sara Labowitz (David Labowitz), Daniel Zuckerman (Julie Zuckerman), Michael Zuckerman (Andrew Zuckerman), his brother, Arnie Zuckerman (Debbie Zuckerman), and many nephews and nieces. He was the proud and cherished grandfather of Andrew, Caroline, and James Zuckerman, William, Stella and Max Labowitz, and Jack Zuckerman, all of whom adored him. He is also remembered with love by a large circle of extended family and friends.

A lifelong learner with a sharp and curious mind, Sherwin earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois and later completed his MBA at Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management. His keen intellect and early fascination with the stock market, an interest that began at age 13, guided him into a distinguished career. He was a well-respected investment advisor, building his career as an early partner at Harris Associates, before founding his own investment firm, Zuckerman Investment Group. Sherwin grew the firm based on long-term relationships, a foundation of trust across generations, and a strong commitment to investment excellence.

Sherwin also served in the Illinois National Guard and remained quietly committed to his community throughout his life. His generosity and sense of responsibility were deeply felt by those around him, though he never sought recognition for it.

Sherwin will be remembered for his warm demeanor and steadfast love of family. His presence brought comfort and joy to those fortunate enough to know him.
