Am grieved to read about MR. Shoham's passing. Many years ago(1992) as I was starting my life over again, I was fortunate to rent a condo on Canterbury Dr. in Farmington Woods, Avon Conn., owned by Mr. Shoham. Although I never met him in person, I find myself fortunate for having met a real mensch by our phone conversations & communications. Of all the business associations I've had over my now 70 years, I have never forgotten him. Bide well, Mr. Shoham.

PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS TO THE SHOHAM FAMILY

From: Carol Schreder

From Bryan, OH

Posted On: June 10, 2014

Alvin Shoham and my father, Richard Schreder did business together during the early years of their companies. Today Scott and I continue the business friendship, carrying on our fathers' traditions. Al was hardworking, took a few risks and had the foresight to build a company and grow it, passing it along to the next generation. He provided for and raised a loving family. They don't make men like that anymore. He will be missed.
