Edward was a founding member of Hackensack-based Cole Schotz, the result of the merger of his prior firm, Shavick, Schotz, Nadler & Konner with Cole, Berman & Belsky in ‘82. He concentrated on real estate planning, development, acquisitions, sales, syndications, and the leasing and financing of commercial and industrial properties. “Cole Schotz has lost its best friend, mentor, visionary, firm founder, and legal scholar. We were so blessed to be honored by his guidance, wisdom, and kindness,” said co-managing partners Michael Sirota and Samuel Weiner. He’s survived by his wife Marilyn, son Jeffrey (of SJP Properties), daughter-in-lawLauren, daughter Alison, son-in-law Peter, and five grandchildren. Donations in his memory can be made to Barnert Memorial Temple,The Valley Hospital Foundation, and the Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative.
