SAUL BERNARD 
LEDERER, 98, died March 
8, 2020, in Palm Beach, Fla. 
Saul was the consummate 
pater familias. He was a 
man of unassailable integ-
rity and character, a suc-
cessful self-made corporate 
executive, a lifelong learner, 
world traveler, voracious 
reader, art and music afi-
cionado, avid tennis play-
er, staunch University of 
Michigan sports fan and 
most loyal friend.
His legacy is in his family 
and their love of learning, 
of striving for excellence, 
of persistence when facing 
challenges, of commit-
ment to philanthropy and 
in their fierce devotion to 
each other. His generosity 
was limitless time, advice, 
resources, love and support. 
He will be forever missed.
He is survived and 
mourned by his loving 
daughters, Marilyn Lederer 
and Marlene (Alex) Miller; 
adoring grandchildren, 
David (Caryn Rousseau) 
Siegel, Jill (Rob) Soltan, 
William (Claire Stewart) 
Siegel, Jeffrey (Emilia) 
Miller; great-grandchil-
dren, Felix Siegel, Arin and 
Jaymie Miller, Sophie Soltan 
and Sam Siegel.
Mr. Lederer was pre-
deceased by his wife of 
more than 72 years, Shirley; 
and grandson, Adam S. 
Miller.
