Jeffrey A. Hersch

Dear Leslie & Family,

You may remember me...we worked in the Bullion Dept. at JPM a long time ago. You were in operations and I was in the Financial Division. I am so sorry for your loss. As you will remember I also worked with Jeff while he was in the General Ledger group. I am trilled to hear that you are OK. I was always concerned that Jeff followed you to work at the World Trade Center and that you too perished. I wish you well. I will always cherish my conversations with...

I just found this site 10 years later. I grew up with Jeffrey in Sea Gate, in Brooklyn, NY. I remember when he had a crush on my sister. As the years went by, people moved away. Right before 9-11, he brought his dog to my girlfriend, who owns a grooming shop. He was a new customer, and they began talking. When he told her he grew up in Sea Gate, she mentioned my name. She called me that day, and told me who came into her store. We were supposed to get together. However, Jeffrey and...

To the family:
May the consoling words from family and friends continue to strengthen you during this difficult time, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

May the wonderful memories of your loved one continue to provide a measure of comfort to you--until God's promises are...

Jeff and I worked at J.P. Morgan together and it was a privilege to have known him. He was a wonderful friend. We used to take lunch together. Jeff had a dry wit about him and it was this wit that made him funny. I also had the pleasure of meeting his wonderful wife Leslie. I'm sorry we did not stay in touch after J.P. Morgan.

My heart goes out to his family, especially Leslie and their son. I'm sure the pain is still there.

Dear Family,
My name is Christine and I lost my father, Stephen J. Fiorelli, on 9/11.
This anniversary, I will be reading Jeffrey A. Hersch's name at Ground Zero. Please know I will keep Jeffrey, his family, and his friends in my prayers that day.
He was a true hero, as were they all.
God Bless!

I worked with Jeff many years ago at JPM. I always remember him as a light hearted but competent man. Someone who could laugh and joke but who was always serious about what he was doing. In all, he was someone easy to admire.

My thoughts and best wishes are with his family.

In memory....

As I cross-stitched your name on the memorial that I am doing for all of the victims, I prayed for you and your family. Please know that your death was not in vain. We will always remember. God Bless.

Dear Leslie and Family,
The last time I spoke to Jeff he was looking for consulting work after the job at Morgan ended. Curtis ended his 30 years at work the same way Jeff did. And we moved to CA., where our kids live, to begin again.

We knew several people working at the WTC and scoured the list of names for hope against hope to find none of them on there. I saw Jeff's name but thought, why would he be working for Cantor when he was looking to consult on his own, and...
