DANIEL SHAPIRO Obituary
With heartfelt sadness, Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP mourns the passing of friend, colleague and mentor Daniel S. Shapiro, a founding partner of the firm and a pioneer in the hedge fund industry. Dan was among the entrepreneurial and courageous handful who founded SRZ almost 50 years ago. One of the leading minds in tax law and investment management, Dan moved to the United Kingdom to open the firm's London office in 2002. As a recognized thought leader, Dan lectured and wrote extensively on the legal, tax and business aspects of investment funds. He was a past member of the executive committee of the Tax Section of the New York State Bar Association and a former chair of the section's Income from Real Property Subcommittee. Dan recently received The Hedge Fund Journal Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Hedge Fund Industry. Well-known for his civic and philanthropic involvements, Dan served on the Board of Governors and Executive Committee of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, was a former Secretary and Executive Committee member of the New York City Partnership and Chamber of Commerce Inc., and was a past President of the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York. Dan was a greatly admired man who touched many lives in his personal and professional life. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten. Our thoughts are with his wife Ellen, his sons and their families.

Dear Ellen, Jon, Andrew and Peter:
I did not know Daniel Shapiro, but yesterday's funeral service was a vivid testimonial to a man whose belief system clearly revolved around family, integrity, intellectual curiosity, innovation and philanthropy. And although Daniel and myself were not well- acquainted, I certainly knew what a man he was by virtue of my friendship with his three sonseach one a mensch in his own right, and each one embodying his father's characteristics in different ways. Yes, Daniel Shapiro will be sorely missed, but he will live on through the family he raised to carry his torch, and through the many lives that have been touched by the legacy of a man who was never afraid to dream big.
