Family members include: Beloved husband of 63 years of Sydell Schubot. Cherished father of Julie Haimon, Ronald Schubot, and Brian (Michele) Schubot. Proud grandfather of Vered Haimon, Ari (Zhana) Haimon, Galia Haimon, Justin Schubot and Zoe Schubot. Adoring great-grandfather of Meir Haimon. Loving brother of the late Reta Schubot Hesse. Devoted son of the late Jules and the late Baraga Schubot. Dear brother-in-law of Bill and Carolyn Nosanchuk, and Pet and the late Manny Nosan. Lovingly remembered by many nieces, nephews, family members and friends. Also survived by his longtime caregivers Duroy Burnett and Sandra Reynolds. The longtime Franklin, Mich. resident owned and operated one of the region's most exclusive fine jewelry salons with the heart of a philanthropist and the astuteness of a nationally renowned retailer. Schubot learned the trade in the late 1940s when he chose to spend his school vacations working for his father, who founded the company in 1917. Jules R. Schubot fostered a niche, selling high-end jewelry to corporate captains like Henry Ford and celebrities such as Tony Martin, Frank Sinatra and Joan Crawford. He turned over the store to Douglas and his wife in 1970, moving from downtown Detroit to Big Beaver Road near the Somerset Collection. Along with his wife, Sydell and son Brian, the Schubots created a destination private salon, crafting custom pieces for some of the country’s most discerning individuals, including a multitude of prominent entertainers and athletes. They managed this not only through outstanding service, but also with their penchant for entertaining. Invitations to their holiday parties were coveted. In addition to his passion for his work, giving back to the communities in which Schubot did business was important to him. He and his wife hosted "The Magic of Platinum" as a fundraiser for the Karmanos Cancer Institute. Schubot served as past Michigan general chairman of the State of Israel Bonds and was past president of the American Israel Chamber of Commerce, the brotherhood of Temple Beth El and the Centennial Lodge B'nai B'rith. Schubot also served as a board member of the Michigan Cancer Foundation, Oakland Family Services, Boys and Girls Clubs of Detroit, the Better Business Bureau Eastern Michigan, the Michigan Retailers Association and the Detroit Institute of Arts Founders Junior Council. He and Sydell attended numerous fundraisers and used the opportunity to showcase their fine jewelry. The family will be gathering through Tuesday evening at the Townsend Hotel in the Glansy Room, located at 100 Townsend St., Birmingham, MI 48009. The family will be receiving family and friends from 4-8:00 p.m. on Monday and 5-8:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
