Richard L. HIRSCH

Shalom. I didn´t know Mr. Hirsch but I came across an article he wrote about the the unnerving trend of people pronouncing "Picture" as "Pitcher" and how it used to be blamed on lack of education and/or rural slang - but how to explain the recent increase that includes people with degrees and professional careers...adding he hoped he didn´t offend anyone. I immediately started searching for his email to thank him for pointing it out - especially that it´s incorrect- and he had no reason to...

While Dick´s professional accomplishments were legendary, I interacted with him solely on a personal level. He was a friend. One could feel his passion for excellence. He was a caring and empathetic human being. Our community is a better place for having been the beneficiary of his significant talent. Stuart Angert

Jeffrey and family - I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Jeff's Dad. All the best to you at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to the families to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time...

Dear Lynn and family, Our condolences to you and the family. We are so happy we got to spend a few hours with both of you this summer. We know how much he will be missed. Tons of love you you and the kids. Much love, Hilda and Michael

Dick and Elliott were dear friends for over 65 since their high school days in Buffalo. They were in frequent touch and loved to share tales of BFLO. Dick and Lynn attended Ell's 85th Birthday party and we shared many wonderful times together. May he rest in peace. Sharon P Rivo & family

I am so sorry Lynn in the passing of Dick. He was always a very friendly kind gentleman. Loved talking with him at the Center. Great memories.

Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear of Dick's passing. He was such a kind and interested person. I remember seeing him in my yoga class years ago and thinking, wow! He's pretty good. He put a smile on my face. Take good care of yourself during this most difficult time. Sue Cooperman (Gross)

Lynn and family, I was so sorry to learn of Dick´s passing. My deepest sympathies. Sue Joffe
