DR. HERMAN S. BELMONT

Herman and my dad were classmates in high school. My dad and my mom, in different schools, were both first in their class and were in line for scholarships to Penn. Herman had his notes stolen, and my dad lent him his. Herman then graduated first in class and went to Penn with my mom. My dad went to Temple. They all got scholarships and went on to become M.D.s. Herman was always our sweetest best friend. He was wonderful for me and counseled my parents to send me to the very special Oak Lane...

He was my dad's childhood friend and shaped all our lives. He helped my dad be a doctor, co-mentored my parents, our families were inseparable to the end. He saved and changed my life at least twice. The most wonderful person you would ever want.

Dr. Belmont demonstrated excellence in so
many rich and meaningful ways to so many of us. He repaired and educated legions.
His memory will live on and on.
