Not sure what to say?

Dr. Erlanger was a warm, compassionate physician, who cared tremendously for his fellow man. Dr. Erlanger will be sorely missed.

I had the joy of meeting Herb and his wife Jane at the resort Rancho La Puerta. The joy and inspiration that Herb brought to all he met was amazing. Early in Sept. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with Herb and Jane at one of their favorite places to relax in New York, The Plaza Athenee. The interest and enthusiasm that Herb brought to life and conversation and people and their journeys is a lesson for all of us. Herb and Jane were one of the most special couples I have ever...

Herb was a very special person and a dear friend. Many years ago I first met Herb at a swim club where he and his wife Jane swam. After meeting and talking with him for the first time I knew I was in the presence of a kind and caring person with much insight into the human mind and spirit. He was full of fun, and his charm and optimism were always apparent. His vast knowledge of medicine and his kindness to everyone were felt immediately. Herb, you were great and we miss you...

I was so saddened to hear of Herb's passing. It was always such a pleasure to meet him whether in the halls of NY Hospital or on the streets of Manhattan. My deepest sympathy to Jane. Terry LaRocca Napolitano

To a wonderful,warm, caring individual.Always a smile,always a sincere conversation.We will miss you.

I was lucky enough to work with Herb, as well as sing with him in the PCC. He always was full of enthusiasm and encouragement for those of us with less singing experience than himself.He will be missed.

Herb is a special friend who will be deeply missed. Herb had a curiosity about everyone he met that is very rare anywhere, especially New York City. I will always remember and cherish our philosophical discussions over wine and dinner. Herb had a depth of knowledge and experience that provided him with fascinating insights into the human condition. Shalom.

Herb became our friend when he met Jane, who Rosemary knew from childhood. He was one of the most positive and curious persons we have ever met. He was rarely ruffled by unpleasant events and gave more then he received in life. We will miss him.

my grandfather Herb was one of the friendliest warm-hearted people i know. He could walk into a room with a million strangers and walk out with a million more friends. He had a long fufilling life full of many adventures and many loving people who miss him so very much. We all remember his loving smile and heart. He affected and touched many people's lives in one way or another, he will stay in my heart forever and i will never forget his laugh and his presence.
