Sue Herskowitz

Mrs Heskowitz seems like she lived a remarkable life....now she is flying with the angels in paradise ...Not a bad way to end up... I'm sure she is keeping an eye on everyone she loved in this world... Angels do that ...

I worked as Mickey's secretary at the Houston Post in the late 60's. I spoke with Sue many, many times and she was always delightful. I looked forward to her phone calls. Mickey was an awesome boss and Sue was a wonderful person. All these years later I still think about them with a smile.

I knew Mickey and Sue as a child since our parents were often together. We took Judo with their boys, my contemporaries, yet I always felt an especially easy affection and confidence with their mom. She was that way. And she always shined like a star. Sue was, in many dimensions, a marvel. Not your ordinary anything, one felt they were with a true character living her life with flair as well as a big, healthy empowering heart.

We met them for lunch at a diner just a few...

I first met Sue in 1956 at my wedding to Harvey Lewis in Ft Worth. She came from Houston with husband Mickey and baby Robin. They livened up the festivities. Mickey was best man.

From then on we were friends and shared many happy times together. She was a collector of lost and misguided souls and never lost faith in them. She brought comfort and caring to them. It felt like her duty to see they had a fighting chance to find a good life.

Sue and I...

Mrs. Herkowitz was my Spanish teacher in middle school and I adored her. I have told many people about a great and funny ! teacher that gave me the outstanding Spanish student award even though I certainly wasn’t! Somehow she knew I needed a little “encouragement” during this difficult time when my parents were getting a divorce. RIP Mrs. Herskowitz and just know you made a difference in my life!

The Herskowitz are one of the Finest families I have had the pleasure of meeting. I am one of those kids she bought home, went to Chicago with her and her boys for a Judo Tournament. That was 43 years ago. Sue was due to meet my oldest son Brandon in 1990, it was not to happen, but now she is with the angels.

Sue Herskowitz and her husband, former sports columnist Mickey Herskowitz, were big supporters of The Chinquapin School. When I was in middle school, I remember Mickey and Sue taking the whole seventh grade class to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the now-defunct Houston Coliseum. On another occasion, she invited me and another Chinquapin School student to see the Houston Rockets at the Hofheinz Pavilion, now known as the Fertitta Center. Sue would often come to the school, which back then...

I suppose a sports writer is only half a sports writer without a really good business manager. Looks like Mr. Herskowitz was blessed with one of the best. May all those who miss her most experience the matchless peace and joy only a loving gracious God can and will give to all who will seek Him while He may be found...........Matthew 11:28 - 30.
