Not sure what to say?

I worked at APS when Hershey was President and Bernie was VP. I headed up their plastic envelope division which was very small back then. I commuted for a year but had an office in NYC. My 9.5 years were just wonderful. I just did not want to live in Cleveland so left the company. My many conversations with Hershey were special and illuminating. He was always a very youthful, active very smart guy and he genuinely cared about everyone who worked at APS most of who he knew by their first...

A great guy who gave a lot of opportunities to others. Some great memories the `Doyle Compensator´ being one. Enjoyed his company very much, and admired his lust for life. He still remains inspirational.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Lerner family and to a great man. I am lucky enough to have worked for the Lerner company of Automated Packaging! I can not express as to how fortunate I was to have been employed by the Lerner's! The generosity of this family along with providing a work place that is matched by none! I was also honored by working directly with Hershey on Sprint accounts in the Midwest. He was a remarkable man and had a way of making people comfortable, truly remarkable....

I´m so sorry to have heard of Mr Lerner´s passing. He was such a smart and interesting man.

Hershey along with Bernie provided a way with APS in keyser wv for myself and others to have a good life . He will always be remembered and missed.

Our sincere condolences. May you Rest In Peace, in Gods loving arms. Robert and Elena

I had the honor of being Hershey's Executive Assistant at Automated and his personal assistant when we both retired. I will miss him very much and will cherish the years of friendship. Rest in Peace, Hershey.

A1 person, both he and brother Bernie. The world was a much better place when Hershey was in it.
