Perry Granof Obituary

My sincere condolences to the Granof family and their connected families, hurting the loss of Perry- Smadar , Israel.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. Perry sought me out to be a panelist on more than one of his arbitration programs. I enjoyed his company and his good humor. He will be missed.

Dearest Carol, Sarah, Arielle and Natanya,
We are holding your hands in spirit this sorrowful day. Sending you all love & hugs.

I wish I had photos/videos of all the special times we shared with Perry and his beautiful family during the Granof's New Jersey years; those images are forever in my head and heart Our memories are of a truly wonderful and honorable family man. We met Perry and Carol through synagogue when Sarah, Arielle and Natanya were very young. I cherish that magical time of growing up' together as families with young children. Perry's generous and kindhearted spirit always shone bright. His wisdom and wit made every conversation fascinating. Like true night owls, we could talk so very late into the night. When the Granof's moved to Illinois, we sorely missed our regular get-togethers, dinners, holiday celebrations and shul-dates.
I am also filled with gratitude for Perry's heartfelt efforts having reached out to my son; trying to find ways to connect and be helpful to him after my son had lost his father, Ralph. I know that Ralph would be able to remember even more since I recall they had extensive worldly discussions. Alas, we can pray there will be opportunity for that in the hereafter for them. Perry was loved by all who knew him. We are deeply sorrowful we cannot look forward to being with him to enjoy his thoughtful and jovial company. We can only hope that the bonds between our families will strengthen as time passes. Perry's spirit continues to be reflected in them and we will be ever grateful for that.
