Sheldon Kall, 93, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, August 3, 2025. Born on September 8, 1931, he was a lifelong resident of Syracuse.

Sheldon earned his accounting degree in 1957 from LeMoyne College, and his law degree in 1960 from Syracuse University. He married his wife Mateele Kall in 1965. They were partners in every sense of the word—raising three children while also working together for over 50 years.

Sheldon and Mateele were the founding trustees of the Pomeranz, Shankman, Martin Charitable Foundation. Under their capable guidance, it has funded Central New York Jewish Agencies for more than 20 years and will continue to do so. Sheldon and Mateele were honored with the Kovod Gadol award from the JCC in recognition of their dedication to the Jewish Community. They were the first people to receive the President’s Award from Temple Society of Concord.

Sheldon was predeceased by his parents Ralph and Dorothy Kall, his brothers Harold and Larry Kall, and his beloved wife Mateele, to whom he was married for 57 years until her 2023 death.

He is survived by his children Deborah (Joseph) Schaal, Jacquelyn (Steven) Miron, and Matthew (Naomi) Kall; Grandchildren Jimmy(Elizabeth) and Danny (Shay) Miron; Rachel, Sophie and Abby Schaal; and Hannah and Lucy Kall; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He loved spending time with his grandchildren.

Sheldon was a devoted Syracuse Orange fan, an avid runner, and a huge supporter of Jewish causes in Central New York. He spent his career as an attorney and CPA helping people in the community. He loved the law and continued working at Kall & Reilly until shortly before his death.
