Herbert Sorrell Edelman

I am so sorry to here this news. I remember Herb well. I happened upon him selling bikes on North Division around 2004. I bought 2 beautiful bikes from him, a Schwinn woodlands and a hard rock specialized. Both were beautifully repaired and restored by him. He also sold me a good bike helmet and a bike rack. Nice man, very polite and spoke to me graciously. He was different- always acted like a gentleman, you would think he had walked out of a Dicken's novel. Both of those bikes were stolen over the years. I was just wondering if he might still be around, as he age was indeterminable and he seemed likely the kind to go down in his boots. Sorry to hear-condolences to the family.

Sorry for your loss, I remember Herb well. Growing up in Highland Park riding our bikes he was an endless supply of chain master links when we were kids. He had everything needed to get us back riding... RIP

My condolences to the family. I worked for Herb at the Hampton shop on Division St. In my teenage years. That's where I learned how to treat people in business. He was so polite and humble I'll never forget those days.
Thank you Herb for all you taught me.

What a specially caring man Herb was. Always quick to say and show his love. You can never forget your first encounter with such a soul.
I hold him lovingly in my memory, Alba
