Stephen Grand

The American Technion Society (ATS) 

mourns the loss of Stephen Grand. 

Together with his beloved wife, Nancy, he 

was a Technion Guardian. Their decades-

long support includes the Grand Technion 

Energy Program and the Grand Water 

Research Institute. He was a member of 

the Technion Board of Governors, former 

member of the ATS Board of Directors, 

and 2010 recipient of a Technion Honorary 

Doctorate. We extend our sincere 

condolences to Nancy and the entire family. 

in Connecticut, and 
Technion-Israel Institute of 
Technology in Haifa, Israel.
Mr. Grand received 
a Technion Honorary 
Doctorate in 2010 for his 
“unwavering support” over 
four decades. 
After Levy introduced 
his friend to the American 
Israel Public Affairs 
Committee, Mr. Grand 
became “an enthusiastic 
supporter of AIPAC and 
Israeli politics.”
Known for having a warm 
and genuine personality, 
Mr. Grand also enjoyed 
enduring friendships with 
Detroit communal leaders 
Larry Jackier and Stanley 
Frankel. 
“Steve Grand is one 
of the finest people I’ve 
ever had the privilege of 
knowing,” said Alan S. 

Schwartz, his friend since 
childhood. “I’ve been lucky 
enough to witness his nearly 
unrivaled generosity to the 
great medical and research 
institutions in Israel and to 
the Jewish people and was 
inspired by his commitment 
to the communities in which 
he and Nancy lived.”
Stephen Grand is survived 
by his wife, Nancy; her 
children, Russell Maddin 
and Lauren Gaver; her 
grandchildren, Alexis 
Maddin, Riley Maddin and 
Jack Gaver; sisters, Betsy 
Marcus and Diana Grand; 
sister-in-law, Susan Spilker; 
nieces, nephews and a world 
of friends.
A private family service 
was held. Contributions may 
be made to a charity of one’s 
choice. Arrangements by Ira
