Dear Sandy, Eric and Allison.
Hersch was a dear friend, a tireless worker for Temple and food bank, and an all around nice guy. He handled his illness with dignity, and did not make others uncomfortable when the time had come to leave us. We will miss sitting with him at the beach house in summers to come. With love, Judy and Nelson

Dear Sandy, Allison & Erik,
Please know that I too, share in your loss. Hersch was a mensch and a man who told it like it was. His activities in the Temple, food pantry, the town and Habitat for Humanity were just a "few" things I know that were essential to him. Hersch was a doer, he was always there to help others. May his memory be a blessing as he was and will continue to be.
