Michael Beckman

Michael Beckman, a beloved father, grandfather, and distinguished attorney, passed away on January 29, 2026, in Westchester, NY, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Born on October 8, 1945, in New York, NY, Michael filled the lives of those around him with warmth and joy.

A person of remarkable intellect and charm, Michael earned his BBA from Baruch College of the City of New York and graduated from St. John's University School of Law and New York University School of Law earning his JD; LLN cm laude, where he was President of The National Honor Society, Beta Alpha Psi and Dean’s List, as well as, Editor-in-Chief of the Accounting Forum. He went on to share his knowledge with students as an Adjunct Professor at New York University and practiced law until 2021. Michael’s contributions extended beyond his practice, also dedicating time to championing access to sports and arts for underprivileged and at-risk children with the Sports and Arts in Schools Foundation and The New York Junior Tennis League.

Michael's passion for life was evident in his love for family, friends, and the many interests he pursued. He was an avid tennis player and golfer and a member of East Hampton Tennis Club and Gardners Country Club. Many will remember Michael’s affable personality, ability to connect with others, and his deep appreciation for reading reflecting his inquisitive nature and endless thirst for knowledge, as well as his love for music.

He was preceded in death by his father, Al Beckman, his mother, Ceil Bronson Beckman, and his sister, Marcia Beckman Golden.

The memories of Michael are forever etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know him. Whether its laughter shared as he barbequed on warm summer nights, spirited tennis games, or sitting by his side while he strummed his guitar with a smile and a whistle, Michael’s memory will be a blessing to those he left behind.

A funeral will be held at Cedar Park Cemetery in Paramus, NJ, on February 1, 2026, beginning at 10:45 AM for family only. As we gather to celebrate Michael's life, we will honor the warmth, kindness, and love he brought into each of our lives.

Sylvia Clara Egleston

Sylvia Clara (Rosenberg) Egleston, 82, passed away peacefully on January 20, 2026. “Sylvi” was born on December 31, 1943 in Santiago de Chile to Gustav Rosenberg and Erna Goldstein originally from Berlin, Germany. Her parents migrated overseas as part of the diaspora of Jews fleeing the onset of WWII to start a new life in a foreign land. She and her younger sister, Eli, were raised in a classic German household where there was a strong appreciation of family in a tight-knit community. Sylvi spoke three languages fluently. She spoke German at home, Spanish in school, and learned English attending the American school. In high school, she trained to be a professional secretary where she excelled and worked for IBEC which continues today as a professional development school. In 1967, she met her future husband, David, an American who was working as a contractor in Chile. They quickly fell in love and were married in Santiago. Shortly thereafter, they moved to the U.S., living in Hackensack before buying a house and settling in New Milford, NJ. Sylvi was an avid cook and entertainer, and was a magnet for drawing friends for delicious meals and her famous flan. She also enjoyed gardening and tending her flowers and, of course, all things pretty. Sylvi was a hard worker and natural-born saleswoman, spending many years selling cosmetics. What stands out most was her incredible kindness, generosity, and above all, love for her family. She was also a very loyal friend. Sylvi was always interested and willing to take the time to learn about whatever successes or challenges one was experiencing in their lives. She would listen to everyone and find ways to encourage in any way she could. She is survived by her devoted husband, David; their beloved children Andrew (Julie) Egleston and Michael (Diane) Egleston; cherished grandchildren Molly, Brady, Erica and Nate; loving sister, Eli, and nieces Vivian, Pamela and Daniela.

Donations in Sylvi's memory may be made to the Jewish National Fund at https://shop.jnf.org/products/trees-for-israel.
