Herbert Strauss Obituary
Herbert Strauss, devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend died on October 7th at the age of 97. He is survived by his loving wife Edith, married for 69 years, his son Brian and his wife Janet Zapata, his daughter Donna and her partner Jared Rosenberg, his granddaughter Sara Feldman and her husband Ian Feldman, his grandchildren Ben, Leo and Brianna and his sister Betty Urich. He was born to Nathan and Bess Strauss on September 22, 1924. He is predeceased by his sisters Pearl and Evelyn and his brothers Lenny and Kenny.
Herb was a Yonkers resident for over 60 years. He owned Urich's Stationary store for more than 30 years, down "the end", with his late brother- in- law Harold Urich where you could always find him behind the counter with a cigar in his hand and a smile on his face. He was a World War II Veteran where he served in the Army Air forces. He loved all sports, reading, Atlantic City but most of all he loved his family and friends and they loved him. He will be forever missed.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I, too, remember Herbie and Harold as well as their wives ~ with great affection. They gave me my very first job as the Card Girl when I was 14. I worked at Urich´s until I went to college. I am among so very many whom they championed! Always remembered what I was doing and made me feel special when I visited years later .... they even acknowledged my wedding.
My father {Edmund Dunne} would say they were "good eggs" and stopped in almost daily for the paper, lottery tickets, joke, etc. He was a good egg as well. Sending condolences to Herbie´s family on his behalf, too.

I would like to offer my condolences. I have fond memories of both Herbie & Harold. "The end" was our favorite place while growing up in Yonkers. Both Herbie & Harold were very kind to my brother & I. They were good to all us "kids". Didn't take any nonsense but were ALWAYS fair! Us kids had tremendous respect for them both. God Bless
