Allan Fefferman Obituary

Fefferman, Allan

Allan Fefferman, age 88, of Munster, Indiana, passed away unexpectedly due to complications of a heart condition on January 19, 2021. Allan is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Laurel Fefferman; son Matthew Fefferman; daughters Sheri (James) Bierman, and Andrea (Jay) Lieser; grandchildren: Jake, Bennett, and Jarrett Bierman; Merrick, Ethan, and Evan Lieser; and Mira, Naomi, and Ava Fefferman. Allan was born in Chicago, Illinois to Milly and Meyer Fefferman. He was their only child. Allan always wished for siblings and was thrilled to have three children and nine grandchildren. They were his pride and joy, along with his beloved wife. Allan grew up on the West Side of Chicago. He was a 1950 graduate of Marshall High School. He started his career in the men's clothing business and later found his true passion within the businesses of construction, development, and real-estate. He moved his family to Northwest Indiana where he started First Metropolitan Builders. Allan loved to work. He worked up until the day he died. Work was his hobby, and he looked forward to each and every day on the job. But, most of all, Allan loved life. He loved living and having loved ones to live for. A private service has been held for the family. In lieu of flowers, donations in Allan's memory can be made to the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana in Munster, Indiana. www.kishfuneralhome.net

I am so saddened to hear of his passing. We got our relationship off on a rocky road but i am so thankful that I had the opportunity to make amends and had the opportunity to know the real him the soft and caring side. He was stubborn and determined to make a difference one location or many at a time. I will cherish my last visit with him always. I know he taught a good fight till God called him home to rest in a place that He prepared for him. May your memories of him always bring a smile to your face and may you find peace and comfort in knowing he is up there still doing it HIS way.

Godspeed my friend. You brought gifts to many, put roofs over many people's heads, you provided capital to those who could not get it based on class or color, you fought to develop what most turned their back on. Godspeed my friend, be at rest. It is your time to be at peace.

To the Fefferman family, I offer you all my deepest condolences in the absence of your loved one Mr. Allan Fefferman. Allan must have been very familiar with Frank Sinatra's song, "I did it my way" because he lived his life on his own terms, his way and he made sure that he would have no regrets. Allan was a strong, ambitious, talented, goal driven man.
