Alan Lawrence Hirshman

I’m so very sorry for your loss. Just heard the remembrance of your father, and he sounds like a remarkable person. May his memory be a blessing

I knew Alan since I was a little boy on st Marks Ave. he was a close friend of my family and I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. Peter kanstroom

I truly got goosebumps when hearing of such a terrible and tragic loss. Alan lived a long, successful and beautiful life but just imagining that he would no longer be here to share it with his adoring family. There are no words to describe the bond that he shared with Alison. So many warm and wonderful childhood memories growing up in the Hirshman household! Their relationship was one of a kind, a truly devoted father that constantly doted on his baby girl. This girl would soon follow in her...

Sweet Alison and Carole my heart aches to hear about Alan. He was the definition of perfection in every way. Growing up with Alison and your family is part of who I am and my childhood. Even though we only lived a few doors down Alan would always watch Alison walk home even until the day we graduated high school! I always remember how he would hug Alison so tight and tell her to check in from a little girl to a grown girl! The bond that Alan and Alison has was like no other and they both...

I'm so sorry about the passing of Alan. Alison, you and I literally did every activity with your dad mentioned in this obituary....including play tennis with him!! He's was one in a million and will be sorely missed. He has told me numerous times that everything he did, he did for you. It was so obvious to everyone that you were the apple of his eye. You mattered to him more than anyone in this world (he actually told me that once) I know you will honor him by always fighting for the...

To my dear friends on the loss of your father...If only there were magic words. So many of the fine traits Alan had, I see in all of you...a deep sense of fairness, a love of art, music, sport and theater and a zest for life. May Alan rest peacefully. May his family find comfort. Love you all.

Uncle Alan, Aunt Carole, and Alison were a part of my life from before I can remember. They were always together and always on the go! Everyone loved it when the Hirshman whirlwind blew through even though no one could keep up with them. One of my favorite memories was Alan and Carole taking me into the city for my 13th birthday. It was my first Broadway show that wasn't a school trip and I was very excited. We had a spectacular day seeing the city and going to the show. After the...

I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like an incredible man. ♥ Although I never met him, his legacy of promoting social justice is already continuing through his children and grandchildren. Much love to everyone!
