Jay Maurey Schonfeld

Jay M. Schonfeld, a loving husband, father and grandfather, passed away on August 28, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love. He was the devoted husband of Robbie, the loving father to Amy (Simon) Feiglin, Jonathan (Kim Favor) and Cindi (Michael) Sigal and the proud grandfather of Drew, Jonah, Theo, Tali, Spencer, Eli, Sadie and Charlie.

Jay was born on September 10, 1945 to Manny and Ceila Schonfeld, and was the brother to Wendy (Richard) Feldman and Alvin (Susan) Schonfeld. He was a 1963 graduate of Shaker Heights High School before heading to Madison, WI, where he met the love of his life Robbie the first day of Freshman year. The Wisconsin Badgers quickly joined the Cleveland sports teams on the list of those that he remained loyal to no matter how many times they let him down.

Once married, Jay and Robbie moved back to Cleveland while Jay graduated from Case Western Reserve University with his Juris Doctor degree. He had already started working for Mass Mutual where he enjoyed a distinguished career selling insurance and caring for his clients. Jay eventually moved on to LPL and was fortunate enough to spend the last 15 years working with his son, Jonathan, reinventing Schonfeld Financial Services.

Jay was happiest traveling with his wife, visiting with his children, watching or listening to his grandchildren excel on the court, diamond or pitch, or spending time with his old high school gang who remained dear friends for over 60 years.
