Well Micheal I saw family today,still not understanding the whole thing. Don looks as though he is just wandering aimlessly existing just because he has to not like he used to with that little santa claus twinkle in his eye anymore... Diane is holding down fort but just the thought of you which she does often brings tears to her eyes as she to stuggles daily with this whole thing... I know she can feel your presents as she knows your there in spirit but give her a little nudge no not push off the chair just little something to let her know you will always be there...Ive had hard time myself losing my dad last Nov.but I will come back now and again to say a few words so thats it for now..and Diane I know your there... just sit back and feel Micheal in the air ...love to all of you..from Bunny/Dale

id love a sign, or something to let me know why you couldn't stay. I'd really just love anything from you. Your smell is now rare to come across unless old boxes are open. Sometimes I still wear your cologne. Whenever I hear your voice it's a video or recording, never live talks or the advice I crave more then you'll ever know. So hard to move on, still loving what's gone. It's like You were my map and now I am tottaly lost and confused. I just wish we could spend 5 minutes together, and if that would be to much to ask for, just knowing you like the person I've grown up to be would do it for me.

November 24, 2010

Hi Michael.. Im so hoping you can feel the love from your family from wherever you are. But somehow, someway, will you please let them know they will see you again. And that they are not the only child, or alone without you. Tell them to reach out to those who also knew you.. and we can always reminisce. Help them to understand WHY you couldn't stay. And let them know how much you really loved them. Give them a thought.. a small happening.. that tells them you see their anguish. But above all, make sure they know.. they will see you again.

Michael,Today it's been two years since you left us. It has not been any easier,in fact I believe it's been more difficult for me to understand all the WHYS? Between the grief and confusion of your absence I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that I will never see you again, the fact I really am an only child and am not a sister to anyone anymore,the fact that there is no one left to share great childhood memories with and the fact that there is no one to ask questions (your answers and perspective always seemed to be a little more offbeat than anyone elses)! Nothing about your death seems fair. You had way too much life to live and way too many things to experience and be a part of!! I will never understand all the WHYS. What I do understand, now more than ever is how much I love you!! You will always be in my heart and mind every single day of my life!! Love, Diane

To the Hoberman Family:
I know it seems like yesterday when all this sadness started. And it probably will stay bitterly fresh in your minds for a time. But, I do hope you can find peace in your hearts and accept Michael's physical loss.
Diane, you are faithful and true to keep his spirit alive and with you. What good is a life if we can be forgotten. Just or unjust, loved or despised, we learn so much from one another. And in your time with Michael you learned sibling love in its most faithful form. I know how much you loved your brother. I witnessed it first hand.
You can still share your life with him. I hold forth that the energy within us never dies, that it only changes form; it is our soul. I write this with certainty as I have experience many things that confirm this belief. Just like the energy in our world and our universe never really dies, our life force is enduring.
Your circle is not broken, it is stronger than ever before, because that space is now filled with true love. There is nothing more powerful than love, pure and simple. Nothing can hold things together better than love. Love does not break our hearts, but it absence will. Your love for Michael is not absent, it is ever present in your hearts. Hopefully, because of what he gave you as a son, as a brother, as a father, or as a friend, be it good or bad, you will never be the same. This is a legacy we all hope to leave behind us. That we changed peoples lives. That they gathered lessons from us to pass on. We never need to let go, or say goodbye. We only need faith to know we will see each other again......
Sending you all my love.
Barbie Greenstein
(Joel Hobermans'Mom)
P.S.
Thank you Michael (Hobie) for being my first true love, and my knight in the shining Red Vett.

Michael, Today it has been one year since you left us. I was reading somewhere about the death of a sibling and it said something like this, the year my brother died I forgot how to breathe. This pretty much explains how I have felt this past year. Adult siblings share alot of wonderful childhood memories,secrets and jokes that only they can understand! I will miss sharing all of those very happy times that were ours only. Childhood was a simple time of our lives when we had no responsibilities or burdens, some of my earliest and happpiest memories are from you and our early days together. You,mom,and dad were there for me from the very beginning.You were the very first best friend I had!
Part of who I am consists of being a sister. Our family circle is broken forever and can never be fixed. I know I will never be the same person again. I don't know how to let go, say goodbye, let alone move on!! So, for now I have to decided I'm just going to take you with me everywhere I go. Big brothers look out for you, they alway have your back. Now your gone, your not here to keep an eye out for me and your not a phone call away anymore. So, if I don't let go then maybe you will always be here for me somehow?
As far as your legacy, I am the only one you can trust!! Never could I replace you. A brother is someone who is part of you forever!! There will never be anyone else like you in my life. Michael, you are a part of me just as I was a part of you. Nothing or no one will ever change that. People can and will move on but,you are part of who I am and my legacy as well. I will honor, protect and always stand up for you and your legacy for the rest of my life. I can promise you, I will talk to anyone and everyone who will listen to me about Michael Hoberman's life and the man he was.
Michael, all I can hope for you is eternal happiness. Big brother,"Rest In Peace" I Love You, Diane

November 13, 2009

Diane,
I didn't have the strength to write in this guest book a year ago as we had just laid my brother to rest.
I really miss not having your brother around...I even miss him picking on me. When he didn't I knew something was wrong. I have alot of good memories of him as I know you do as well... even more. Hold onto those Diane, it will guide you through these tough times.
Love you....Lisa C :)

Dear Family of Michael,
I met your son, and your brother many many years ago on a hot summer Chicago night in the Snuggery on Rush St., 1985, I moved to Miami in 86 & we became long distant friends, talking on the phone once or twice a year sharing our lives.....who we married, the birth of our children, happy simchas, & unfortunate times. I could not believe this happened, I have to say... I always thought we'd see each other again, one day with our kids & spouses & say, well we did it! ....He was a sweet guy & always made me laugh..... I am so very sorry for your loss.

Diane, I read your last entry on Michael's birthday and it brought a tear to my eye. I almost sold my home and moved my family to Omaha in 1995. Michael wanted me to move up and help him run Mid City. I wish now I would have, maybe I could have helped him in some way. If you ever want or need someone to talk to about your wonderful brother, please contact me. God Blees you and your family.

To the Family and friends of Mike Hoberman......My heart goes out to you....What a great guy!....I used to hang out at Mid City Music after school and dream of buying a brand new 1978 Fender Jazz Bass....Mike was always so supportive , encouraging , funny , happy ,and best of all, nice.My dream came true , and I bought that bass thanks to Mike. The bass is gone , but those memories at that store , his smile ,and his smirk ,and his spirit will always be with me...God Bless......Sal Alessandro

I am sorry to hear of Michael's passing and I hope your family is getting through this. I bought Professional Music & Sound from Mike in the early 1980's which became Browns Music on 73rd and pacific. We got to become friends and I always valued Mike's opinion. I wasn't a musician and could only play a guitar well enough to sell one. Mike once told me that owning a music store was as close to being a rock star as I was ever going to be and he was so right. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Diane and family,
Several months have passed, but I know the pain is still fresh for you. I only just now learned of Mike's passing. I am so sorry that you must go through this, but I know what an incredible family you are and I know that strength as a family will see you through.

I will keep you in my prayers as you move through this first, most difficult, year.

This is not how I ever would have guessed I would be wishing you Happy Birthday today. I can't believe you’re gone and I will never see you again. I miss you so much Michael! Dad told me along time ago after Zayde died he looked up every time the door opened to see if it was him. I understand exactly what he meant. Even though we butted heads for 49 years, never once did I doubt our love or mutual respect for each other. Nobody could get me get me as riled up as fast as you or make me laugh as hard as you!! I have always looked up to you and I will always be proud of you. So much of who I am today is from watching and learning from you.
Michael, you and I have been through many obstacles over the years but, we were always there for each other. I would have done anything to help you. You were the one I always turned for the really big stuff. Who am I suppose to call when I can't remember a name or place? I could always count on your amazing memory! I have so many memories of you and so many things in my everyday life remind me of you. There are so many memories only you and I shared and I will treasure them with all my heart. I'm thankful for every last memory but, at the same time saddened because there will be no more.
Michael, we all loved you and needed you. I'm not quite sure how to help mom, which has been the hardest part. She feels so empty and nothing anyone can do or say seems to help. When I look into pops' eyes there is nothing, just a blank stare. I'm so glad you had four wonderful children. In each one of them I see a piece of you and through their eyes I will always have a part of you. I promise Joel, Sarah, Jacob & Gabi will hear a lot about you, I don't think my stories about you will ever run out.
I know how much you disliked your birthday because Zayde was buried 31 years ago today. The only thing that gives me any peace is knowing that you’re celebrating your birthday with him and with so many of our beloved friends and family. I know you’re not alone.
Michael, I'm not quite sure how I'm suppose to do this without you. Please look over me because I have many challenges ahead of me. Some days, I hurt so much and I feel like I have very little strength and that a huge part of my life is missing forever. The idea that I never can bring you back leaves an empty ache in me from the time I wake up in the morning until when I go to bed at night. I have so many questions to ask you...............But, one thing I know for sure is that I will forever and always be Mike Hoberman's little sister!!! I love you, Diane

Another coin-op friend here wishing to say I lost more then a business connection. I lost a real friend, even tho we didn't meet in person I always felt we were close friends. Mike never could go right to business
It was either some political story or sports.Never postpone what you want to do. He always promised those front row seats to CWS but I never took time to do such. It will be my lost for not taking that time. We'll all miss you "uncle mikey"

To all of Michael Hoberman's family and friends;

I was totally shocked to learn today of Michael's passing. I am one of Michael's many Coin-0p friends... from our first conversation it was much closer than "just business". Mike always made you laugh... his view of the world was quirky, insightful and usually brilliant.

Living here in California, I would tell Michael I was calling from "The Left Coast". That would make him laugh and he would go off on some rant about a current topic of the day, about how it felt to be a liberal Jew in conservative Nebraska, or how the government was making a hash of things.

Michael was always totally honest in his business dealings. His word was gold, that is a rare and precious thing in this world of ours.

All his children should be proud of who their DAD was. He was a great man, a good friend, and he will be sorely missed.

Don, Joel, Sarah, Jacob and Gabi and the rest of the Hoberman family. I will miss Mike and all of our lenthy conversations about our business, our families, and our ideas. Mike was always good for advice and a laugh and was always willing to help someone out. The entire coin operated world will miss Mike and will never forget him.
To Mike's kids... be proud of your Dad he was honest and hard working and loved you more than anything in the world.

To all of the Hoberman family and friends, our prayers are with you all. If there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.

Dearest son Joel,
Even though we have had hours and hours of deep felt conversations, I want you to know in written words how deeply it saddens me you have lost your Dad.
These are the times when you think "if only"
yet these words only sting and feel bitter.....as we know in our heart and soul we cannot change the past.
I know you hoped for many things to transpire for you and your Dad.
And, I know it saddens you that now it cannot.
As life continues, I hope that you can find solace in learning more about him.
Then my sweet Joel, take it all in and hold on to what is most cherished and productive. This is a way your Dad can still help you even though he is no longer here.
Please know Joel you are the wonderful, priceless, elemental results of your Dad and I.
And even though we did not make it as a couple, I will always remember him ...
for you.....
and because of you.
I am here for you...
and love you Joel.
Your Mom,
Barbara Greenstein

I have many happy memories of Michael, this is my first and only sad one.

Although I didn't see him very often in the last thirty years, he always clearly carried on Don's talent for illuminating the room and the people in it, whenever he entered. I suspect for every entry here, there are a few score more people that feel the same way about the contribution Michael made to all our lives, intentionally or otherwise.

That's something to remember and be thankful for, and for his family to be very proud of.

Don,Nancy and Diane,
I'm sitting here Saturday morning
thinking about what I was doing Friday morning. It still doesn't seem real. I think about some of the good times Mike and I had. Sometimes I wish I could get in a time machine and re-live the '70's again. I guess all you can do is just keep moving forward. Take care.

Tiffany, Gabi and family,

We wish to express our deepest sympathy to you. We met Michael for the first time last Friday night as we were dining at the Hollywood Diner. Our daughters are classmates and we spoke briefly as the girls exchanged hugs and giggles. We witnessed a loving father sharing a meal and a shake with his little girl. Our hearts broke for your family when we heard the news of his passing. We will keep you in our prayers.

Michael & I have known each other for thirty five years and always stayed in touch. We had a chance to be in closer contact over the past month. I know that Mike was very hopeful about spending the holidays with his family. He loved each & every one of you very much. My heart, thoughts & prayers go out to the Hoberman Family. We all have lots of great memories to help us through our grief. Let those be the memories we dwell on as time goes by. God rest his soul. He left too soon.

I never met Mike face to face but had almost daily communication with him over the last two years as he supplied my company with many products. We bonded instantly from our first conversation, as we both loved to talk about the "good old days" in our industry. But Mike's favorite topic of conversation was his family, all of whom he loved dearly. They were always in his heart, and I pray that they will keep him in their hearts forever.

To the entire Hoberman Family, As we walk through life we find alot of things hard to understand but there is a reason for everything. I can only imagine how it feels loosing a child as ours was an infant when she went away from our family. I can say you will never forget you will just have days you are better able to handle the feelings of emptiness a little easier. You have always been a strong family and as with all the other obsacles you have enduered this you shall too.. May you and the whole family find comfort in each other and the thought we will all be together again in the end.

Dear Tiffany and Hoberman family; Randy and I were so shocked to hear of your loss of Michael. Although we didn't know him well, he was always kind to us and our family. And you and the kids were always a joy to have around, especially around the 4th of July. When you moved away, everyone always commented on how much your family was missed. It was wonderful having you nearby. There are no words, that can truly express, how much we wish there was something we could do, or say, that could alleviate your grief. Just know that there are so many people out in the world that are thinking of you, wish they could take away your pain and hope that you can all support each other through this difficult time. Please know you have our deepest sympathy..

I am deeply sadden of the loss. It seems like it was just yesterday we were unloading tons and tons of fireworks out of the orange corvette and doing various activities around the neighborhood. Joel, your dad was a good man and I enjoyed getting to know him more and more as you and I grew up. Sorry I will be unable to come to the service, but I will be there in spirit. To the rest of the Hobermans. I am sadden again for the loss of Mike. There are so many stories I remember with MIke, and the rest of you involved. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.

I could never have imagined losing someone as close to me as you were. I guess sometimes we take things for granted. You are already missed sorely! To Tiffany, Sarah, Jacob and Gabie, my prayers are with through this very difficult time! They say bad things happen to good people, well, not only did a bad thing happen to a good person, but a horrible thing happened to a great family. I feel bad not knowing what else to say other than I am sorry, for you must have heard it enough to last a life time. Remember, you still have each, not to mention the unconditional love from me and the rest of the family! Please stay strong for each other. I am extremely disappointed that I am not able to be there with you at this time, but I know I will see you soon, and I love you with my heart!

Tiffany,

Eve and I send you and the kids our thoughts and love.

Hobie, I left town without saying goodbye to you and now I regret it even more. But I hope you're now in a place where you can see how much I, and everyone else, appreciated your friendship. You are, and will always be, missed my friend.

To the Hoberman Family

My deepest sympathy.

I was a business acquaintance who Michael decided to befriend.

No matter how often or how hard I tried to keep Michael focused on our business discussions, he would always turn it into a conversation about his family, especially his children. Michael's love for all of you was apparent in each and every conversation.

Michael was a good and kind man whose sincerity touched us all.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you in this most difficult of times.
