Dr. Jerome M. Hershman

Jerry was a lovely person-- a mensch. We miss him very much: his intellect, his joy of life, his smile, his sense of adventure, and his caring. We have wonderful memories, and think often of the wonderful times we spent together.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Cousin, Rivia Ferst Greenberger,cousin

I was a patient of Dr Hershmans´s...he saw me through my treatment and was the kindest, most thoughtful and caring physician. I have always been grateful for the care he provided during a difficult and stressful time . I thank him for my many `extra years´. He will certainly be missed by his many patients over the years and his loss is truly a loss to us all. Thank you Dr Hershman.

Dear Fleury, Please forgive this inexcusably late letter regarding Jerry´s passing this past summer. He had so many positive influences on my career and that of many others to say nothing of the amazing influence he had in medical education, publications, research, and patient care. Norma and I send our deep condolences to you and the family; and also our gratitude for your sharing Jerry´s life with us. Charles and Norma Emerson.

Dear Fleury, A good friend of mine informed me that Jerry had passed away. From our email correspondence I was aware of his diagnosis, and he was certainly much aware of his state of health and approached this is with a lot of courage. He spoke also about your wonderful help. We are even more with you in our thoughts. Nadine and I are sending you our profound condolences. Our friendship was a long-lasting one. We must be grateful that we could share this friendship over more than 50...

I am so very saddened to learn of Dr. Hershman's passing from such an insidious disease. May God rest his soul and his memory eternal for his family and all who knew him. I carry this photo that I took of him and his friend during lunch on Oct 25, 2017 at 1:57pm just after a lecture Dr. Hershman gave at UCI. Dr. Hershman taught me, he helped me and he was greatly respected by so many in southern California as well as nationally! His memory will remain with me forever!

Jerry and I were in THE PLATO SOCIETY together. What an incredible man! He exuded caring, intelligence and love. I adored him and the wisdom he shared.
