uring the 1968 World
Series, Louis Segel, a big
sports fan and father of
two boys, was able to
scrounge up two box seat tickets to
see the Tigers play the
Cardinals. But did the
lack of a third ticket
pose a dilemma?
As his son Lenny
Segel tells it, his
father gladly turned
the tickets over to his
young sons, giving
them an experience
they "won't forget for
the rest of their lives."
In the weeks before
his death from cancer
on June 30, Louis
Louis Segel
Segel also provided

for other young peo-
ple to have the experi-
ences of a lifetime. He and his
wife, Sara Lee, made an endow-
ment to the Michigan B'nai B'rith
Hillel Fund to help send to Israel
each year a college student who
could not otherwise afford to go.
He had a generosity of spirit
and responded to community
needs and B'nai B'rith," said
Rabbi Milton Arm, rabbi emeritus
of the former Congregation Beth
Achim, where Mr. Segel was a
member for 45 years.
Mr. Segel was president of the
Metropolitan Detroit Council of
B'nai B'rith from 1971-72 and a
past president of Bloch Lodge.
He was a devoted fund-raiser
for B'nai B'rith Youth
Organization and Hillel," said
Emily Rogow, director of the Great
Lakes Region. "He raised a lot of
money for the organization. He
will be sadly missed."
As past president of the Wayne
State University Hillel
Foundation, Mr. Segel felt the
need for Jewish college students to
visit or study in Israel. He visited
Israel several times.
His wife recalled, "Our most
exciting trip was when we went to
Israel for a B'nai B'rith convention
in 1974 and met members from
all over the world. Golda Meir and

Hubert Humphrey spoke."
In setting up the Hillel Fund
endowment, Rogow said, Mr.
Segel "wanted to make sure he
was leaving a legacy to B'nai
B'rith. He believed in what we
do.
Louis Segel, 72, was a retired
commercial real
estate executive and
former manager of
Wonderland Mall in
Livonia and Macomb
Mall in Roseville.
He served in the navy
during World War II
and belonged to
Shapiro Post of the
Jewish War Veterans.
He did volunteer
work for war veter-
ans, the Jewish
Community Center
library and the
Jewish Welfare
Federation.
"He had an incredible sense of
honesty and integrity and doing
the right thing on moral and ethi-
cal grounds," said his son, Dr.
Mark Segel.
"He had a very generous
heart," said Rabbi Herbert S.
Yoskowitz of Adat Shalom
Synagogue.

daughters-in-law Lenny Segel and
