nded to include 12 major universities.
In 1945, Is married his college love, Selma Lightman. Their 43 year marriage was filled with the joy of having two children and the fact that Selma resumed an active lifestyle after the success of her third kidney transplant that led to 15 years of normal activity until her death in 1988.
He was blessed to meet and fall in love again, marrying Mary Graye in 1992 and living together until her passing in 2011. They spent a winter month in Hawaii and fall month on a cruise every year, and the remainder of each year tending to a large flower garden open to the public.
Is was active in his faith based community and served as president of the Madison Jewish Community Council (MJF); Madison Hillel Foundation; and was long term treasurer of Temple Beth El, as well as lifetime Board member.
He was preceded in death by his father Sol (1921), mother Ida (1981), wife Selma (1988), wife Mary (2011), son Stephen (2016), and sister June and brother Saul.
He is survived by his daughter-in-law, Claire; his daughter, Debra; his grandchildren, Joshua and Rachel; and his four great grandchildren, Benjamin, Chase, Margaret, and Zachary. His family will miss his endless stories, sharp wit, meticulous organization and spicy personality.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Selma-Is-Mary Fine Memorial Fund at Temple Beth El (2702 Arbor Drive, Madison, WI). Is will be buried at Forest Hill Cemetery.
