Herbert Winters Obituary

Herbert Winters

Age 90, of Pasadena, CA, passed away July 4, 2015 at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, CA. Born Herbert Schwartz on August 26, 1924 in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of David and Alice Schwartz. The family moved to Wilmington, DE soon after. As a teenager, Herb opened a dance studio in Wilmington but then followed his dream to be a professional actor and moved to Hollywood, CA. Herb changed his last name to Winters and gained notoriety by working several years during the 60's & 70's on the hit TV shows - Bewitched and Laverne and Shirley. During show hiatus, Herb appeared in both movies and TV commercials. Herb was well respected in Hollywood circles and was elected president of his actors union guild with the support of Bewitched star Elizabeth Montgomery. Eventually, Herb retired from acting and began investing in multi-family real estate holdings.

Preceded in death by his brother, Sidney in 2011, Herb is survived by his aunt, Ruth Goldstein of Fort Lauderdale, FL; two nephews, Steven Schwartz (Sandy) of Surpise, AZ and Arthur Schwartz (Susan) of Annandale, NJ and their sons, Michael Schwartz of Jersey City, NJ and Dr. Randall Schwartz (Yvonne) of Miami, FL.

In the past year, I have become a sort of "super fan" of "Bewitched." I actually know how many times I´ve seen Herb on that show. How? I kept a log of ALL his appearances. More than thirty. More than fifty.

SEVENTY-FIVE appearances! Some with a line of dialogue, but mostly as a warlock, waiter, bartender, or delivery man. My wife and I made a game of it and she´d say "There´s Herbie!" Sorry, I already logged that one.

At the moment, I´m trying to clear up the misinformation on IMDB.com which has him mixed up with another actor named Gerald York. Herb and Gerald actually both appeared in the very same episode of Bewitched, "Prince of a Guy."

Best wishes to all his friends and family! It´s been just over ten years since his passing. It´s nice to know he left such a wonderful, permanent record of his work.

Mr. Winters was my neighbor in his later years in S. Pasadena. Sudsy was his beloved sweet little dog who escaped to my apartment and connected us. We took walks and I provided Lunches, and even a lovely dinner, to hear the AMAZING stories of his life. They included Elvis, Ava Gardner, and Mel Brooks. He was extraordinary. There´s so much more to this man...he was important to me at a critical time in my life and a real inspiration. <3

I have been wondering for years who this gentleman was who appeared many times on Bewitched. Every time I'd see him, I'd say "there he is again!" Finally, my searches brought me to this Legacy web page, and I'm sad to hear that Herb passed on. At least now I can put a name to that familiar and friendly face! Thank you Herb for making a lasting impression through your many visits to the wonderful, magical world of Bewitched. Your presence will live on forever through continued airings of this show. My condolences to Herb's family and friends. Sincerely, Lisa Moran (3/31/2018).

I met Herb when my older brother, Harold (Hal) Mark Berman,helped teach at Herb's dance studio in Wilmington. Herb's cousin Stan Sirkin was my classmate;almost every day, we walked together to PS High from 26th and Speakman Place. After Hal, his wife & I all ended up in LA, we spent time with Herb. Now, Hal and Stan are both long gone & my husband and I have lived in Seattle since retirement. So I was surprised to learn from The DE Jewish Voice that Herb just passed. Besides his talent, he was a gentleman through my young eyes & my husband's. I wish we had seen him again before the end. Jerry and I send our sympathy to the family.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Herb. I live in Australia and I only new him through his appearances on Bewitched, and spent considerable time to try and find him to invite him to attend the Bewitched 50th Anniversary celebrations last year in LA.
To all his friends and family my condolences. I want to let you know that there are many fans of Bewitched throughout the world who loved his many appearances.

I never met Mr. Winters, but I enjoyed his many performances on Bewitched where he was a familiar face, usually reacting to Samantha's magic. I offer my condolences to his family and friends. I'm sorry for your loss.
