Novoselsky, Sheldon "Shelly" Marshall age 69, of Skokie, died December 20, 2008, beloved husband and best friend of Doris (nee Blechman) for 46 wonderful years, loving father of Scott (Alisa), Brent (Andrea), and Seth (Nichol), proud and loving Papa of Carly, Alec, Nikki, Zach, Mackenzie, Cameron, and Justin. Shelly was a friend to all who would listen to his jokes. He worked for 18 years at Brentwood North Nursing Home, and enjoyed years of retirement playing with his grandchildren and passing his time watching the Cubs and Bears whose seasons this year contributed to his downfall, he died very much too early and will be missed by all. Shelly's final wish was for his body to be donated to science fiction. Chapel service Monday, 2:30 p.m. at Shalom Memorial Funeral Home, 1700 W. Rand Rd., Arlington Heights. Interment Shalom Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bnai Brith Sports Lodge Scholarship in C/O of Brent Novoselsky, 3000 Lakeside Dr. Suite 200 S, Bannockburn, IL 60015.

Dear Novoselskys All….

How startling it was to learn of Sheldon’s death. It had been such a treat to have your grandson/son/nephew and our grandson Jeremy preparing for their b’nai mitzvah together; celebrating the event last month with your family was the added bonus. Needless to say, it brought back memories of the years we sat together in the Niles North stands while Brent, Robert and David and our now son-in-law Mike played on the football field together. We have a precious bond with Andrea and the Kaminsky family as well. Fate brought us together again as we heard over and over from our Lauren about the link and developing friendship between Andrea and her and between Zach and Jeremy.

The memories of the friendship in the stands will remain with us alongside of the ones of the shared b’nai mitzvah. The memories brought up by the many people who have signed this “guest book” will surely hold you in good stead once the initial shock of Sheldon’s death fades. So many beautiful tributes to him, his humor, his integrity must surely make you all smile. Shalom

About 15 years ago I met your father/husband as a vendor trying to do business with Brentwood Nursing facility.During my initial visit,he made an indelible impression right a away.His sense of humor and affable personality was evident on several occasions.I spoke to him about life during one of my visits and he shared that his life,is like a book with each phase of his life was a chapter.How profound his comments and observations were! Sheldon,was a wonderful person and will be missed.He shared how proud he was of his children and wife.I was happy to have known Sheldon!
