HERBERT AXELRAD Obituary

AXELRAD--Herbert Louis. The Axelrad family is deeply saddened by the passing of Herbert Louis "Red" Axelrad on December 29, 2018, at the age of 85 after his courageous battle with pancreas cancer. Devoted husband of Rita Stockler Axelrad, beloved father of Leslie, Andrew and Alexis, proud grandfather of Caitlin, Patrick, Ethan and Gemma, and delighted greatgrandfather of Logan. Raised in Washington Heights and resident of Riverdale for over fifty years, Herb was a true son of the city. Lover of jazz, art, theater, history and the New York Yankees, he infused all that knew him with his deep intelligence, fierce integrity, distinctive humor and warmth. A practicing Accountant for over sixty years, he built trusted, lifelong relationships with his colleagues and clients and would always go out of his way to help anyone in need, no matter how late the request or last minute the deadline. Herb's proudest accomplishment was the success of his children, grandchildren and greatgrandson who were the lights of his life. Herb lives on forever in the hearts and memory of all the lives he touched. Funeral service on Wednesday, January 2, 2019 at 11:45am at "The Riverside", Amsterdam Ave. and 76th St.
