September 24, 1930 — October 19, 2013
I.S. (Sam) Lazerov,
83 years old, long time resident of Indianapolis passed away Saturday October 19th at his home surrounded by his loving family. Sam was born on September 24, 1930 in Memphis, TN to Harry and Katy (Sandler) Lazerov.
A graduate of the University of Miami with a degree in Business, Sam was a highly regarded builder and developer in the Indianapolis area for many years. He served honorably during the Korean War as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Navy. Sam started his career in the building business working for Shelby Construction Company. He took classes in engineering and architecture and began building on his own. He was an award winning pioneer in real estate development. One of his projects was featured at the Indiana University School of Business as an early example of a successful condominium project.
He was an avid pilot and owned his own plane and served as president of the Indianapolis Aero Club. During his presidency he invited speakers from all over the world. Most of whom were war heroes such as Brigadier General Paul Tibbets; most noted for flying the Enola Gay over Japan. Sam was honored as a Sagamore of the Wabash by Governor O'Bannon in 1999.
Sam is survived by his beloved family; his wife Fran Calderon Lazerov, his devoted children; David A. (Heather) Lazerov of Carmel; daughter, Florence (Doniel) Reznik of Indianapolis and grandchildren Gabriel and Karen Reznik and Blake Lazerov. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Dena Shapiro.
