Dear Gerry and Sasha,
I just heard that Sheldon passed away recently. My childhood memories growing up in Hamilton included your parents, Gerry at Adelaide Hoodless school and of course Sheldon. Sasha, you were the very cute little sister. Just wanted to give you my condolences on Sheldon’s passing.
He was a friendly guy who loved you all and I know how kind and supportive you always were.

Shelly was an influential fellow with the junior natural resources companies. He organized many lunches and was a major proponent of the junior mining companies eager to discover the next major discovery and generate hefty gains. He found many and developed a following that endeared him to the investment community. He will be sorely missed for his jovial discussions, discoveries, mannerisms, and general camaraderie.
Dear Sasha, Gerry, Danna and Families,
My heart and thoughts are with you for Sheldon.He was a dear friend of my late father Leo’s and myself.I will miss his Style, Stories and our Kibbutzing together. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it tommorrow.
May his Special Memory be for every Beautiful Blessing.
Xo to all,
Michael Bornstein
