Brian Schlessinger Memorial Fund

Brian Schlessinger Memorial Fund

Brian’s sudden passing is a shock to us all. We were blessed to have him in our lives and feel a gaping hole now that he is gone.



May his memory be a blessing.



One small way for family and friends to celebrate his life is by making a contribution in his memory. This way, Brian’s family can celebrate his life and help others in his name.



He leaves behind spouse Tara Schlessinger and children Maya and Alex Schlessinger of River Vale, New Jersey. He was the son of William and Rita Schlessinger of Philadelphia, the brother of David Schlessinger (Carole) and uncle of Ricky, Mimi and Bella Schlessinger of Sydney, Australia. And the brother of Evan (Dana) and uncle of Shira, Eitan, and Shimon Schlessinger of Los Angeles.



May Brian Schlessinger's z"l soul be bound in the bond of life-eternal and his memory serve as a blessing.



The Schlessinger family
