Featured Obituary:

Harold Louis Miller, age 100, passed away on August 2, 2021. A first-generation American and proud Jew, he was born in Chicago on March 28, 1921 to Louis and Minnie Miller. He volunteered in the Second World War, serving in Europe with the Army Air Corps and returned to Chicago to work in his piano store during the day and attend John Marshall Law School at night.

He married Beatrice Kraus on January 4, 1950 and the two went on to raise their family and serve as partners in a pioneering real estate business. Harold, along with Joseph Moss, did the first conversion of an apartment building into condominiums in the United States. In 1979, he purchased Carl Sandburg Village for $105 million and converted the complex into condominiums in three 30-day periods. As president of First Condominium, he converted numerous other apartment buildings and complexes into condominiums and cooperatives in the eastern part of the United States.

Charitable in every dimension, Harold looked for ways large and small to help others. He converted two of the largest bomb shelters in Jerusalem into community centers. He chaired the Illinois chapter of Save a Cambodian Child Now, and he put countless hours into helping Soviet Refuseniks settle into American life. He also made sure to offer small sums to anyone who asked, sometimes slowing down his companions as he stopped to talk to the hungry and homeless who recognized his generosity.

After a lengthy career in real estate, he was appointed as a Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago, Department of Finance, where he introduced the first lectures on entrepreneurship and was eventually elected to the Chicago branch of the Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame
