RAPHAEL-SACKS SCHUMAN
Isadore (“Izzy,” “Ted”) Schuman died in his
home on Sept. 20 at the age of 88. Isadore, a
pharmacist, business maverick, and philan-
thropist, was also a beloved husband, father,
grandfather and great grandfather. He is sur-
vived by his wife Rochelle, daughter Dana-
Lee (Jeff Refold), and grandchildren Jaxson
and Logan of the Pacific Palisades California.

He is also father of Michael (Debra), Robin
(Greg Rapport), and Kerry (Jill) and grand-
father of Jesse, Gavin, Jackie, Anna, and Eth-
an, and great grandfather of Eli. Schuman is
best known for changing the dynamics of the
pharmacy industry in Pennsylvania, when he
introduced the first discount drug stores. For
decades, Schuman forged a battle with the
Pennsylvania Board of Pharmacy because he
offered lower-priced prescription drugs. Pre-
viously, prices were set clandestinely by the
Board and area drug stores, causing numer-
ous battles for Schuman with the State li-
censing board and competing pharmacies,
when he lowered prices at his first drug store
and did not submit to pressure to stop. Schu-
man also challenged Pennsylvania’s Blue
Laws when he dared to sell non-prescription
items in his drugstores on Sunday. At that
time, virtually all non-essential items, were
prohibited from sale on Sunday. While these
innovations are all commonplace today,
Schuman led the battle starting back in the
early 1950s. His commitment to customers
and lower-priced prescriptions were appreci-
ated by community members, which led to
the successful Schuman Drug chain in
Pennsylvania. Schuman is also known for his
many charitable contributions. For example,
as an alumni of Philadelphia School of Phar-
macy (now the University of Sciences in Phil-
adelphia), he established a scholarship in
honor of a friend. He also funded the Albert
Einstein Medical Center to build a kitchen to
serve patients and their families. He was the
local Chairman of the March of Dimes. In ad-
dition, he and his wife, Rochelle, were mem-
bers of the Board of Directors for the Nation-
al Tay-Sachs Society and many other organ-
izations. He was also active with various
temples in his earlier years. Contributions to
his memory may be made to Abramson Hos-
pice, 1425 Horsham Road, North Wales, PA
