HERBERT L. MARX Jr.

Herb Marx, my stepfather for over 25 years ,was much admired by me for his intelligence, his care and concern about my brother and myself but especially for the attention he displayed to my children as they grew from youngsters into adults . Forever on a quest for one of my children to take up stamp collecting, that goal was never achieved . However, they enjoyed his stories, his humor and our family gatherings . May his memory be for a blessing !

That was a great destination when I was a TOURO/ Breuers undergrad. Take the elevator up and you entered Samuel Johnson dictionary heaven. There was a beautiful harp, lovely art, amazing view and the most wonderful and generous couple on the East river. Aunt Dottie and Uncle Herb were gracious hosts for sleepovers, dinners out at Moshe Peking and other fine Kosher dining locations. After I met Yehuda, Aunt Dottie and Uncle Herb continued to host us as a couple giving us tours of NYC...

Herb is remembered often throughout the year. He was my step-father who shared his life experiences about being in the OSS in World War II and then his corporate career and eventually became a well respected arbitrator. Most endearing was his demonstration of love and patience with my 3 children who called him Grandpa Herb. He tried to interest each and everyone of them in stamp collecting (to no avail) but I can say we celebrated each other's birthdays at the Oyster Restaurant in Grand...

Barbara and Dr. Mark Fisher admired Herb Marx who was married to our aunt Dorothy. It was such a delight to visit with them on the East Side of New York overlooking the water. Certainly Herb was a mensch in the best sense of the word. Our youngest son became a Bar Mitzvah after Dorothy had passed. But, Herb came to the Bar Mitzvah in Atlanta and we were so delighted to have him with us. Herb had an incredible professional life but unless you pushed him to talk about it, you just would not...

A man of intellect, caring and a sense of decency. Herb , my step father, was at times a writing mentor, raconteur and what a collection of life stories he had. His love for my mother, Dorothy, was without question . Much of his wisdom and advice are still with me today . I miss him ! Love you, Herb ! Tedra

Herbert was the voice of reason. Our time spent with him was always an enlightening experience. His even handedness was expressed in every opinion which was what made him such a good arbitrator and gentleman.

I consider my dear late wife Lloyd an infallible judge of human beings. She loved Herb Marx. She considered him wise, warm, witty, savvy, widely knowledgeable, constantly willing to share his views and knowledge, and also constantly willing to hear what others had to say. I can heartily second Lloyd's thoughts.

Given the recent events in New York and elsewhere, what this country needs now is a great mediator. Herb had the rare talent for bringing opposing sides together. He was calm when he engaged in conversation but as a quick thinker could see several "chess moves" ahead. Bringing people to the table with the goal of working things out reasonably was his genius.

Herbert was such a classy man - educated, witty, loving and the quintessential Renaissance man. He was knowledgable in so many areas and he regaled us with his stories from World War II and his love of anything British. He loved his children, grandchildren, his wife, Dorothy, and his step children Michael Levine and Tedra Schneider and their children ---and we loved him.
