Sheldon Belofsky was a lawyer, friend, and father figure to the Hearn- Brown families. There will never be another lawyer like him again. His presence will be greatly miss by my family and others in the Chicagoland area. To the grand children of Sheldon Belofsky, your grandfather was a great, articulate,and outstanding man that helped people that no one else would have assisted in legal issues. He is irreplaceable. Your family is in our prayers.

I will never forget Sheldon as an attorney, customer and friend. I first met him in January of 1970 when I began my career at Chicago Title & Trust. He was very inspirational to me as an honest, hardworking man. He helped me and my family with many closings and other legal matters. A great guy ! He will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to his lovely family.
