Gerald was the proud grandfather to nine grandchildren; Bryan along with his wife, Meghan, Andrew, Lauren, Marla, Rachel, Katherine, Adam and Jaclyn.
Gerald Shor dedicated over 40 years of his life to supporting Hillel Foundations on college campuses. To celebrate these good deeds and charitable efforts to which he exhibited during his lifetime, his family created the ”Gerald T. Shor Hillel Fund” to support operations for special programming at Hillels located in North Carolina and Virginia. The funding will help Hillels build “membership and involvement” among the Jewish college students.
“What a wonderful way for Mr. Shor’s family and friends to remember him,” said RJF President-elect Stuart Cantor. “This generosity will ensure that Mr. Shor’s values and priorities will continue to be supported forever.”
