Nessim Isaac Algranati Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Nessim Isaac Algranati (Wilmette, Illinois), whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Nessim Isaac left this world on March 2, 2025 at the age of 86, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
He was predeceased by: his wife Patricia Algranati; his parents, Isaac Algranati and Rose Benveniste; and his brothers, Mair Algranati and Jacques Algranati.
He is survived by: his children, David Algranati (Joanne) of Rahway, NJ and Nancy Martin (Alriel) of Wilmette, IL.; and his granddaughter Sophia Grace Martin.
Nessim demonstrated resilience throughout his life including surviving paralytic polio at the age of 5, Nazi occupation of Egypt at the age of 5, losing his mother at the age of 7, religious persecution culminating in seeking asylum in his early twenties, many health challenges as he aged including surviving Covid infection twice.
The family asks that donations be made to HIAS at act.HIAS.org (http://act.hias.org), the nonprofit organization that sponsored Nessim and his family to come to the United States from Egypt, instead of flowers or other gifts.
