HERBERT H. ITZKOWITZ

ITZKOWITZ, Herbert H. In Loving Memory March 23, 1935 – May 25, 2025 It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Herbert H. Itzkowitz, who passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on May 25, 2025, at the age of 90. Herb was a man of quiet strength, boundless generosity, and unwavering devotion to his family and community. Born on March 23, 1935, in Malden, MA, he was a proud graduate of Everett High School and Northeastern University, where he later returned as a dedicated educator, sharing his knowledge and passion for learning with generations of students. A highly respected Certified Public Accountant, Herb built a long and distinguished career marked by professionalism, integrity, and a commitment to excellence. For decades, he served his clients and colleagues with care, precision, and the highest ethical standards, earning the trust and admiration of all who worked with him. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Herb was first and foremost a family man. He was the devoted husband of Judith (Rudman) for almost 60 wonderful years. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and lasting memories. He was a loving father to Mindy, Michelle, Stephen, Marcy, and his son-in-law, Peter Klay. He was a proud grandfather to Jacob, Haley, Blake, and Andrew, all of whom brought him immense pride and joy. He was a devoted friend to many, someone who could be counted on for sound advice, a kind word, or simply a steady presence. His loyalty, sense of humor, and genuine care for others earned him lifelong friendships that he nurtured with grace and humility. Whether teaching in the classroom, solving a complex tax return, or telling stories around the dinner table, Herb touched the lives of many with his kindness and quiet wisdom. His presence had a way of making others feel calm, heard, and cared for. In addition to his beloved family, he is survived by many extended family members, friends, former students, and clients who will carry his memory forward with deep affection. He is also survived by his sisters, Sarah Itzkowitz and Frada Marvel. He is predeceased by his parents, Arthur and Esther (Balter) Itzkowitz, sisters Eleanor and Miriam, and brothers Howard and Barry. A celebration of Herb's life was held on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at Temple Beth Sholom in Framingham. Though we mourn his passing, we are deeply grateful for the many years we shared with him. He will forever remain a guiding light in our hearts.
