Frank L. Stifelman

Frank Stifelman of Palm City, Florida, passed away on January 28, 2015 at the age of 77. While Frank most recently resided in Florida, he was a New Jersey native, and lived with his family in South Orange and West Orange NJ. Frank was born in Newark, NJ on March 23, 1937.

Frank was the son of Jack and Leah Stifelman who he adored. In high school, Frank was a young scholar and an Eagle Scout, graduating two years early at the age of sixteen.

Frank L. Stifelman received his B.S. from Rutgers University School of Business, his J.D. from Rutgers University School of Law and hi L.L.M. in taxation from New York University School of Law. He married his lifelong partner, Susan Ross Stifelman, while a struggling law student. He was a law secretary to the Honorable Philip Forman, U.S. Court of Appeals, Third, Circuit and was a Certified Public Accountant prior to co-founding the law firm Orloff, Lowenbach, Stifelman & Siegel in Roseland, NJ.

Frank was a member of the American and NJ and Essex County Bar Association for 50 years.

The most important part of Frank’s life by far was being the husband of Susan, the father of three children, Jamie Dunn, David and Michael, and the grandfather, “Poppy”, of eight grandchildren, all of whom are left behind as his wonderful legacy. Poppy’s children and grandchildren will miss him dearly, in particular they will miss the calls leading up to their birthdays. He would sing “Happy birthday to you,” each day for seven days in his baritone Poppy voice.
