Kenneth Shraiberg Obituary

Shraiberg, Kenneth It is with great sadness that we inform you of Ken's passing. Ken enjoyed the coincidence of his December 24th birthdate. Ken served in the U.S. Army at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. One of his duties was to serve at the funerals of the retired generals. He presented the American Flag to the next of kin. He took modest pride in the manufacturing business in LaPorte, Indiana, which he established, developed, and nurtured for twenty-eight wonderful years. Punctuality was his motto: make sure that the trucks made deliveries on time. He leaves a multitude of heartfelt, grateful memories for his spouse, Carol; and his son, Sam. Ken was the dear son of the late Manny and Sadie; brother of Dorothy (Mike) Weintraub and the late Jack (Roberta) Shraiberg. Please remember him and perform an act of kindness in Ken's memory. Services have been held. Arrangements entrusted to Lakeshore Jewish Funerals, 773-625-8621.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

So sorry for your loss. It is our loss too. I am glad he had a chance to meet his four grandsons.

Well, I'm another student in his fiancé's 3rd grade classroom (circa 1970). Can't say I remember the orange juggling, but I do remember him hanging out in the classroom happily waiting for his "bride" to get off of work! As a 9 year old, with my parents about to get divorced, it was refreshing to see such genuine love. Carol, I'm so very sorry for your loss. You have my sincerest condolences. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear of Ken's passing. I'll always remember him juggling oranges in his fiancé's 3rd grade classroom, trying to impress all of Carol's students. I was one of them, and it clearly worked! When I return to volunteer at the food bank in January, I'll donate a few boxes of clementines in his honor.

Ken, you were a great fellow and I will always remember you. Somehow, dinner with you and Carol at Chez Paul in Chicago (circa 1978) sticks in my mind. DHR is/was a clever and versatile enterprise with you in control.

Deepest sympathy to Carol and family,
