NJ real estate attorney Edward Schotz dies

A veteran New Jersey real estate attorney and father of SJP Properties’ Jeffrey Schotz has died. The cause of Edward Schotz’s death was mesothelioma, a form of cancer, Jeffrey told New Jersey’s the Record.

Edward joined Cole Schotz law firm in 1982 as a result of a merger, and worked there until March, when his health declined, Jeffrey said. Edward was reportedly proud of his work in the 1980s bringing into existence the Glenpointe development, a 650,000-square-foot mixed-use complex in Teaneck, NJ. He is survived by his wife, Marilyn; son, Jeffrey; daughter, Alison; and five grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Sunday at 11:00 a.m. at Barnert Temple, at 747 Route 208 South in Franklin Lakes, NJ. [NorthJersey.com]
