Edwin Sapot
Edwin G. Sapot, the former chief executive officer of Passport Luggage, died Saturday (Aug. 20, 1994) at St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights after suffering a heart attack. He was 48. Mr. Sapot, of Creve Coeur, took over Passport Luggage in 1991 after the death of his brother, Harvey A. Sapot, the company's founder. He left the company after it was sold two months ago. Edwin Sapot also owned The Jubry Group in Chicago, a pharmaceutical group that sold drugs to nursing homes. He sold that business in December. Mr. Sapot graduated from the University of Missouri. Among the survivors are his wife, Sheri Sapot; a son, Bryan Sapot; and a daughter, Julie Sapot, all of Creve Coeur. [published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Aug 22, 1994]
