Obituary
David B. Stolman, age 75, resident of Buffalo Grove for nearly 50 years. David was a force of strength for his whole family and his beloved friends. Moreover, he was instrumental in teaching about love of community, activism, and charitable work. Born in 1948, the same year as Israel became a State, David had an obsession with numbers… especially 18 and 36 and their significance in Judaism. He is the beloved husband for 52 years of Maureen Stolman, nee Kahn-the love of his life; loving father of Karen (Adam) Firsel and Kenneth (Shelley) Stolman; adored Papa David of Emma and Eli Firsel and Ari, Brooke, and Chloe Stolman; devoted son of the late Edward and the late Helen Stolman; dear brother of Mark (Ronna) Stolman and the late Leah (late Mel) Bransky; cherished brother-in-law of Jamie (Carol) Kahn; treasured uncle and friend to many. David was a leader…in so many ways. An active investor and attorney by profession, but it was his dedication to public service that truly made the most impact. David was actively involved in Lake County, Illinois government in a variety of elected positions: Lake County Board (1992-2014), Chairman of the Lake County Board (2010-2012) and as Lake County Treasurer (2014-2018). He was also the past President of Congregation Beth Judea in Long Grove, Chairman of the NW Suburban Lawyers and Government Agencies Division of the Jewish United Fund, and a founding member of the Northwest Suburban Jewish Community Center. Service Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. CT at Congregation Beth Judea, Route 83 & Hilltop Rd., Long Grove. The service will be livestreamed on David’s webpage at www.goldmanfuneralgroup.com.
